Description
Discover the exquisite charm of the Gunderloch Redstone Riesling 2023, a dry white wine sourced from the picturesque vineyards of the Roter Hang in Upper Rheinhessen, Germany. This captivating Riesling showcases the rich terroir with its iron-rich red soils that impart a unique character and delightful minerality, resulting in a wine that embodies both elegance and vibrancy.
Crafted from a selection of prestigious vineyards, including Rothenberg, Pettenthal, and Hipping, the grapes for this vintage were harvested in optimal conditions, producing fruit of exceptional quality. The 2023 vintage benefited from a cool and wet winter, followed by a flawless flowering period that set the stage for a harvest marked by phenolic tension and concentrated juiciness.
On the nose, the Redstone Riesling reveals a symphony of vibrant citrus zest, ripe apples, and whispers of honeyed sweetness, harmonized by subtle smokiness. The palate welcomes you with the bright and lively essence of juicy white peach and green apple, perfectly balanced by crisp acidity and a silky texture. The experience culminates in a crisp, mineral-driven finish that leaves a lasting impression of lingering slate notes and refreshing green apple zest.
For the best experience, serve the Gunderloch Redstone Riesling chilled at 8-10°C. This wine pairs beautifully with:
- Subtly spiced Asian dishes such as Thai green curry and Vietnamese lemongrass chicken
- Lighter creamy dishes like mild goat cheese or ricotta-based appetizers
- Chilled seafood platters, including scallops and fresh oysters with a lemon wedge
- Smoked salmon on rye, topped with dill and crème fraîche for a perfect brunch
- Create a refreshing white wine spritzer with sparkling mineral water and a twist of lime
Experience the purity and freshness of the Gunderloch Redstone Riesling 2023, a wine that not only exemplifies Rheinhessen's winemaking heritage but invites you to indulge in its intricate flavors, making it the ideal choice for both casual gatherings and special occasions.

Storage advice
For storing white wine maintain a consistent temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) which preserves its crispness and delicate flavors without premature aging . Avoid temperatures above 55°F as warmer conditions can accelerate spoilage; avoid refrigerator storage for long-term as it can dry out the cork .
Keep the wine in a dark place away from direct light to prevent UV damage which can degrade the wine’s quality . Store the bottle horizontally to keep the cork moist thereby preventing air ingress and oxidation especially important for wine sealed with natural cork .
Maintain a humidity level around 70% to keep the cork from drying out which ensures a good seal and prevents spoilage .
For opened bottles reseal tightly with the original cork or a wine stopper and keep refrigerated (at about 45°F) to slow oxidation. Consume within 2-3 days for optimal quality as white wines generally deteriorate faster once opened due to oxygen exposure.
No special storage modifications beyond these apply specifically to this type of white wine so following these general white wine storage guidelines will best preserve its quality.
