2024 `Redstone` Riesling, Gunderloch

Slate, Citrus and Serious Charm

Bright, lifted and beautifully precise, this is Riesling with both energy and elegance. Aromas of ripe citrus and yellow plum rise from the glass, fresh and inviting, while the palate delivers that mouthwatering tension Riesling lovers crave. A touch of residual sugar softens the edges just enough, giving the wine lovely balance and a gentle generosity before the mineral finish sweeps in, clean and refreshing. Crisp, vibrant and quietly irresistible.

For when: you want something zippy, polished, and endlessly drinkable.
Pairs with: Thai curry, fresh prawns or a picnic that’s trying to impress.
If this wine were: A white linen shirt, perfectly pressed, with a little designer flair.

Gunderloch is one of Rheinhessen’s benchmark estates, with more than 130 years of history and a long-standing reputation for expressive Rieslings from the famed Roter Hang. Under sixth-generation winemaker Johannes Hasselbach, the estate continues to evolve, combining deep tradition with a modern focus on sustainability and precision, including organic certification in 2022. The fruit for Redstone comes from a selection of vineyards across the iron-rich red slopes of the Roter Hang, including sites around Rothenberg, Pettenthal and Hipping, where red slate and clay soils give the wine its distinctive mineral character and unmistakable sense of place.
