✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Gunderloch's Niersteiner Oelberg Riesling Eiswein is a rare liquid masterpiece born from a high-stakes gamble with nature. The Oelberg vineyard, situated on the famous 'Roter Hang' (Red Slope) of Rheinhessen, features a unique composition of red clay-slate and limestone that imparts a distinct mineral tension to the grapes. To craft this Eiswein, healthy Riesling grapes are left on the vine deep into the winter months, risking destruction by frost, rot, or hungry wildlife. When temperatures finally plummet to at least -7°C (often in the freezing pre-dawn hours of December or January), the grapes are hand-harvested and immediately pressed while still frozen. This process leaves the water behind as ice, yielding a tiny quantity of highly concentrated, nectar-like juice. The resulting wine is a breathtaking tightrope walk between luscious, honeyed sweetness and a piercing, electric acidity that ensures the wine never feels heavy.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Weingut Gunderloch blev grundlagt i 1890 af bankmanden Carl Gunderloch og er en højt respekteret vingård beliggende i Nackenheim ved Rhinen i den tyske vinregion Rheinhessen. I dag drives vingården med stor omhu af Hasselbach-familien gennem flere generationer. Gunderloch er især berømt for sine historiske parceller på de stejle, røde skiferterrasser i den legendariske Roter Hang – med grand cru-marken Nackenheimer Rothenberg som det ubestridte højdepunkt. Med et dedikeret fokus på terroirdrevet vinavl skaber vinhuset enestående, mineralske Riesling-vine, der spænder fra knastørre og krystalklare enkeltmarksvine til legendariske, lagringsværdige ædelsøde vine som Auslese og Trockenbeerenauslese. Gunderloch er et absolut pejlemærke for vinfremstilling i Rheinhessen og anerkendes verden over for sin rene frugt, nerve og spændstige syre.
