2 x Fritz's Riesling, Gunderloch 2011 Rheinhessen
Fritz's Riesling comes from vineyards from a small area in the Rheinhessen called the 'Roter Hang,' or red hill, just outside the village of Nackenheim. The red slate soil is mineral rich, combining with a southerly aspect to provide perfect conditions for ripening. An elegant, citrussy nose follows onto a fresh, tropical fruit palate with lots of white peach and a slate-like mineral quality. Off-dry, with a backbone of fresh acidity balances the wine perfectly. Off-dry in character with a cleansing acidity and plenty of citrus and stone fruit make this a perfect apéritif.
