Gunderloch Riesling Jean Baptiste

This Riesling has quietly earned its place as a staple for anyone wanting to understand just how compelling German wine can be. Sourced from the lower terraces of Gunderloch’s top grand cru vineyards—Hipping, Pettenthal, and Rothenberg—this is a wine that consistently overdelivers.

It’s made in a feinherb style, meaning it carries a modest touch of grape sweetness, which brings balance rather than sugariness. The result is a wine that’s super-bright and vibrant, but with surprising depth—aromas range from green apple and lime to papaya and even a hint of pomegranate. There’s a razor-sharp clarity to the finish, something that might be too aggressive in a dry wine, but here, the gentle sweetness softens the edge just enough to make it thrilling instead.

Organically farmed, thoughtfully made—Jean-Baptiste is a Riesling with real energy and precision. Pair with thai takeout, sushi, pork chops, or a log of goat cheese!
