Gunderloch Fritz's Riesling 2007
Rheinhessen, GermanyIt's not that often that first release wines hit home runs but Fritz Hasselbach the owner of Gunderloch has done just that with Fritz's Riesling. The grapes are purchased from five growers all with vineyards on the famous red slate soils of the Rheinhessen. The grapes are handpicked; the style is all about balance. Many blends were contemplated and assessed before this mix of 28 grams of residual sugar were combined with the bright acidity of the sensational 2007 harvest to produced this delicious wine. Eminently sippable, this screwcap white with bright minerality and fresh fruit is tailor-made for the bustling Pan-Asian cuisine of Vancouver or even better with barbecued or pull pork dishes. This should definitely be one of your go-to value wines for the summer of 2009. Stock up by the case.Tasted: 08 May 2009Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $17.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
