Gunderloch

The banker Carl Gunderloch founded the winery in 1890. Riesling was the focus from the very beginning. The grape variety finds an ideal environment on 250- million-year-old red slate where climatic and geological conditions allow the creation of expressive wines. The heart of the estate is the Rothenberg vineyard in Nackenheim. Twenty-four vineyard hectares are currently cultivated with 85% of the vineyard area dedicated to Riesling. The Hasselbach family’s cultivation efforts are dedicated to preserving vine and soil health for future generations. Gentle pruning restrict yields to around 50 hl/ha. full ripeness with perfect balance between the development of aroma and the preservation of acidity is the goal in order to create vibrant, concentrated wines with intense mineral character.
