The 2024 Riesling Nackenheimer Rothenberg Grosses Gewächs has the loveliest impression of flint on the nose. The palate is a wave of delicious juiciness that washes right over you, drenching you in red apple-tinged, luminous freshness, ripe tangerine and peppery herbs. This has impact, power, energy and animation. What a wonderfully dynamic wine. This has such articulation, fruit and wonderful spiciness. The finish is pure saltiness and pith. The 2024 is gorgeous. (Bone-dry). Drink 2028-2060. 97 points Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous

Extremely youthful but wonderfully elegant and refined on the medium-bodied palate. Terrific concentration of white peach, pink grapefruit and hibiscus flavors. Long and extremely delicate finish that has a wonderful tropical twist. Great aging potential. From organically grown grapes with Fair Choice certification. Drink or hold. 97 points Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com

Aged in stücks, the 2024 Nackenheim Riesling Rothenberg GG exhibits a lime green, very intense yellow color and opens with a deep, intense and concentrated as well as very complex nose of ripe and dense Riesling berries intertwined with notes of weathered, iron-rich slate, dashes of fresh lemon juice and salt. Full-bodied, round and juicy on the palate, it has a fine mineral structure and crystalline acidity that carries this beauty to a long, intense and mouthwatering finish. This is an elegant, concentrated and very complex Rothenberg of exceptional class and tension and with an uplifted and saline finish. It has great aging capacity. 96 points Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate

Producer

Gunderloch

Johannes Hasselbach has well and truly hit his stride after taking the winemaking reins from his late father Fritz a few years back. Warm, charming, modest and brilliant Fritz Hasselbach, who passed away from illness in October 2016, was the man who lifted the estate into the Rheinhessen's topflight. Johannes and the team are taking it even further, turning out stunning wines from top-rated vineyards of the Roter Hang, a steep hill of red slate overlooking the Rhine. The dry Rieslings are intensely concentrated and expressive of the red volcanic soil. Attention to detail drives everything that happens at Gunderloch and the Hasselbach family’s intimate knowledge of the Roter Hang shines through in the wines. They are wines that ripple with energy, that are thought provoking and profound, that expertly exhibit the sites in which they are grown, but more importantly, are a pure joy to drink.
