ABOUT THIS WINE
The Gunderloch Jean Baptiste Riesling Kabinett 2023 is an estate wine from Weingut Gunderloch, a sixth-generation family winery. Named in honor of the founder, Jean Baptiste Gunderloch, this wine originates from the Rheinhessen region of Germany. Its grapes are cultivated on the esteemed 'Roter Hang' (Red Slope), a terroir recognized for its unique mineral characteristics derived from iron-oxide laced, red clayey slate soil. The 2023 vintage benefited from dry conditions balanced by a wet winter, promoting slow grape maturation. The wine is organically grown and FairChoice certified.
