The 2023 Gunderloch Roter Hang Riesling 1G is a premium dry Riesling sourced from the famed Roter Hang vineyards in Germany’s Rheinhessen region. Produced by the historic Gunderloch estate, this Erste Lage (1G) bottling highlights the unique red slate soils that have made the area one of Germany’s most distinctive Riesling terroirs, delivering both precision and depth.
On the palate, vibrant flavours of lime, grapefruit and white peach are layered with subtle herbal notes and a pronounced mineral character. Bright acidity provides freshness and structure, while the wine’s concentration and fine texture create a balanced, focused profile. The finish is long, dry and elegant, showcasing the distinctive energy and complexity of the Roter Hang vineyard sites.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy serious dry Riesling with strong vineyard character and impressive aging potential. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar over the next 8–12 years as additional layers of mineral and savoury complexity emerge. Pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, roast pork, poultry dishes, sushi and refined vegetable-based cuisine.
