This wine is light and fresh with delicate aromas of ripe citrus and yellow plums. On the palate, mouthwatering acidity is balanced by a touch of residual sugar and a mineral finish.

Fruit for the ‘Red Stone’ Riesling is sourced from a selection of vineyards across the Roter Hang (the red hillside) in the Upper Rheinhessen, including the renowned Rothenberg, Pettenthal and Hipping vineyards. The area stretches from Nackenheim in the north to Nierstein in the south and overlooks the Rhine. It is named after its distinctive iron-rich red soils. This combination of red slate and clay lends a distinctive character and complex minerality to the wines.

The grapes were gently pressed in a pneumatic press and left to settle overnight. Fermentation occurred in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at 14-15°C to preserve and accentuate the variety’s fresh and vibrant aromatics. The wine was kept on the fine lees, without batonnage, for three months before bottling.

Gunderloch 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”.
