Gunderloch, Riesling GG Rothenberg, 2024 [Pre-Arrival ETA 7/15]
Rothenberg is the crown jewel - the Nackenheim near-monopole that Gunderloch has farmed since 1890 and where roughly two-thirds of the estate's vines still grow. Here the iron-rich, blood-red slate of the Roter Hang is at its most compressed and powerful, and Johannes Hasselbach farms organically and ferments wild to total dryness to let it speak as purely as possible. This is the grand cru that expresses the DNA of the red slope with the most depth, weight, and savory intensity. The 2024 is a baby, coiled tight with youthful energy and structured for the long haul - a powerful, spicy, mineral-soaked Riesling that will reward years in the cellar but already shows the class of the site. Decant it if you can't wait.
