The palate reveals silky texture and concentrated notes of yellow plum and lime blossom.

The area is named after its distinctive iron-rich red soils formed over 280 million years ago. This combination of red slate and limestone lends a distinctive character and complex minerality to the wines. The vines are planted on east and south-east facing slopes, overlooking the Rhine, protecting the vines from cold winds and ensuring a unique microclimate for optimal ripeness. The parcel is managed organically and sustainably, with practices such as no-till and dry farming, hay mulching and indigenous cover crops.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThe grapes were harvested by hand and were gently pressed in a pneumatic press. The juice was then left to settle overnight. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks at 14°C, to retain and accentuate the vibrant, primary aromatics. The fermentation was halted by chilling once around 25g\/l of residual sugar was reached. The wine was then aged for four months on the fine lees.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eGunderloch are one of the Rheinhessen’s most respected producers, known for their complex Rieslings derived from the distinctive, red soils of Roter Hang. Though the estate has over 130 years of history, including a pivotal role in the founding of the Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter (VDP), its reputation has been shaped by a willingness to adapt in pursuit of continued quality. As sixth-generation winemaker Johannes Hasselbach explains, “this is an old estate with a long history, but we have to evolve because when nature changes, so do the wines”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/www.gunderloch.de\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"London End Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64572276638073,"sku":"105101725","price":15.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/5405\/2509\/files\/GunderlochJeanBaptisteRieslingKabinett.jpg?v=1789402529","url":"https:\/\/www.londonendwines.com\/products\/gunderloch-jean-baptiste-riesling-kabinett-2025","provider":"London End Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
