Gunderloch `Jean Baptiste` from Rheinhessen, Germany, is a delightful off-dry white still wine. Crafted from 100% Riesling grapes, this organic certified wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant character. It offers perfumed aromas of ripe yellow peach, apricot, and orange peel, leading to a silky palate with concentrated notes of yellow plum and lime blossom. Mouthwatering acidity is expertly balanced by its off-dry sweetness, culminating in a refreshing, saline finish. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with lighter poultry or spicy Asian dishes.

Vinification
The grapes were harvested by hand and were gently pressed in a pneumatic press. The juice was then left to settle overnight. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks at 14°C, to retain and accentuate the vibrant, primary aromatics. The fermentation was halted by chilling once around 25g/l of residual sugar was reached. The wine was then aged for four months on the fine lees.
