Gunderloch - Hipping GG 2023 Riesling 750ml

"Gunderloch own 4 hectares of the Hipping grand cru. The site is located in an exposed position on the Roter Hang where the southeast and south-facing slopes meet. Its position on the ‘Rotliegend’ formation between Pettenthal and Ölberg is significant, and unites several outstanding pre-conditions for vines. The warmth of a broad lake-like section of the Rhine and intense sun exposure, a wind-protected site and the very weathered red slate of the steep slope allow small Riesling bunches of grapes to develop intense aromas and flavours. The family's prime parcel in Hipping is protected by a row of terraces and the steep flank of the Pettenthal. Hipping tends to yield wines of incredibly expressive exotic fruit and significantly creamy texture." -Cellarhand (Importer)

"What complex and original aromas this excellent dry riesling GG has: all the Mediterranean herbs, also grapefruit peel, pomelo and bergamot. This beautifully balances excellent ripeness that has a slight tropical edge with cool minerality on the medium-bodied palate. Very long, refined finish with a stony intensity that builds and builds. From organically grown grapes with FairChoice certification. Drink or hold. 96 points." -Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com (July 2024)
