Gehring 'Roter Hang' Riesling Germany 2022

The 2022 Gehring 'Roter Hang' Riesling hails from the prestigious Gehring Winery in the village of Nierstein, located in Germany's Rheinhessen region along the Rhine River. The "Roter Hang" or "Red Slopes," located between Nackenheim and Nierstein, are renowned for their reddish soils of clay, slate, iron, and sand, providing the perfect terroir for high-quality Riesling with a strong mineral character. The 2022 vintage faced extreme weather, but late-season rains and cooler conditions preserved the grapes' acidity and balance, resulting in a lower yield but higher quality. The wine showcases Riesling’s hallmark complexity, balancing fruit and acidity with mineral nuances.
