"The Gunderloch 2007 Nackenheimer Rotenberg Riesling (vinified entirely in large casks) offers alluring scents of orange blossom, narcissus, clove, Szechuan pepper, smoky black tea, and tangerine zest. Musky, zesty, and pungent on the palate but at the same time both creamy and refreshing, this finishes long on elegance, refinement, intriguing pungency, and stony, smoky mineral allusions typical for its great site. The longer you savor a glass of it, the more nuances you encounter, and I would not hesitate to plan on following it in my cellar for at least a decade. The best Riesling sites at Gunderloch werenât picked before late October, and nobly sweet wines were harvested into February! The berries were tiny and largely healthy, says Agnes Hasselbach, and it stayed cold, dry, windy, and sunny, so they slowly dried out."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
