The 2023 Gunderloch Rothenberg Grosses Gewächs Riesling is a powerful yet finely detailed dry Riesling from the historic Rothenberg vineyard in Germany's Rheinhessen region. Sourced from steep red slate slopes overlooking the Rhine, this Grosses Gewächs displays aromas of lime, grapefruit, white peach and crushed stone, with subtle floral and herbal nuances.
On the palate, it is concentrated and mineral-driven, with vibrant acidity supporting layers of citrus, stone fruit and slate-like complexity. The texture is precise and structured, leading to a long, dry finish that highlights the vineyard's distinctive character and depth.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking a serious, cellar-worthy Riesling with strong site expression. Enjoy now for its youthful energy or cellar for the next 10–15 years as additional complexity develops. Pairs beautifully with oysters, sashimi, grilled seafood, roast pork and Asian-inspired seafood dishes.
