Louis Guntrum - 2017 - Niersteiner Rehbach Spätlese - 750 ml.

Subregion: Nierstein (Rehbach)

Louis Guntrum’s Niersteiner Rehbach Spätlese is a thoughtfully produced late-harvest Riesling from Rheinhessen’s prized Niersteiner Rehbach site. Bottled at 750 ml, this Spätlese emphasizes the ripe fruit profile and distinctive site character that define Guntrum’s house style. Expect a lively interplay of ripe orchard fruit—peach and nectarine—balanced by fresh citrus notes and a mineral core reflective of the Nierstein soils. Sweetness is present but restrained, shaped by clean acidity that keeps the wine lively and food-friendly rather than cloying. The wine’s texture is moderately rich, making it an excellent companion for both spicy Asian preparations and luxurious contrasts like foie gras or pâté. Soft, creamy cheeses such as Brie and triple-cream styles will harmonize with the wine’s silkiness, while fruit-based desserts will echo its stone fruit and citrus elements. This is a versatile Spätlese for those who appreciate Riesling that leans ripe and approachable without losing regional clarity. It is ideal for collectors and curious drinkers who want a clear expression of Rheinhessen terroir delivered with polish and accessible sweetness.
