Gunderloch A Piece of Me – Als Wars ein stuck von mir Riesling

Fantastic balance, lovely mineral character and spice that will develop as it ages but drinking beautifully now. The winery was founded in 1890 by the Banker Carl Gunderloch. Since then it has been the passion of their family to focus on the Riesling variety which finds perfect conditions in their vineyards. The 250 million year old “Red slate” -Soil from permian times and the special microclimate on the steep slopes next to the impressive River Rhein are the basis for the creation of unique wines. At the Moment the Hasselbach Family cultivates 24ha of vineyards which are planted with 85% Riesling. Working with their vineyards they aim to preserve the plants and the soil for the generations to come, with cautious pruning they are aiming for very low yields of around 50 hl/ha.  Their ambition is to find the perfect balance of aromatics, a fruity acidity and the typical minerality of the slaty soils. They are fascinated by the harmony between concentration, liveliness and minerality.
