✨ Technical Specifications
The Nackenheim Rothenberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA) represents the absolute pinnacle of Gunderloch's sweet wine production. Sourced from the legendary Rothenberg vineyard, situated on the steep, iron-rich red clay-slate soils of the 'Roter Hang' (Red Slope) overlooking the Rhine, this wine benefits from a unique microclimate that fosters the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). Hand-harvested berry by shriveled berry, the production of this TBA is an arduous labor of love, requiring meticulous selection in the vineyard. The resulting nectar is fermented slowly, yielding an incredibly concentrated, luscious elixir where intense sweetness is perfectly counterbalanced by the electric, mineral-driven acidity characteristic of the Rothenberg terroir. Historically, Gunderloch's sweet wines have garnered international acclaim, carrying forward a legacy of excellence established since the estate's founding in 1890.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1890 by banker Carl Gunderloch, Weingut Gunderloch is an esteemed estate located in Nackenheim along the Rhine in Germany's Rheinhessen region. Now meticulously stewarded across generations by the Hasselbach family, the estate is renowned for its historic holdings in the steep, red-slate terraces of the famous Roter Hang, particularly the grand cru Nackenheimer Rothenberg. Practicing attentive, terroir-focused viticulture, the winery crafts exceptional, mineral-driven Rieslings that span crystalline dry single-vineyard bottlings to legendary, long-lived noble sweet dessert wines such as Auslese and Trockenbeerenauslese.
