Kühling-Gillot Rothenberg Wurzelecht Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2012

This Riesling originates from the renowned Rothenberg vineyard in Rheinhessen and carries the Grosses Gewächs classification – the VDP quality seal for dry top-tier wines from Germany. The term "Wurzelecht" (own-rooted) indicates that the vines grow on their own roots rather than being grafted onto rootstocks. This imparts additional depth and minerality to the wine, which can be felt in almost every sip.

The 2012 vintage in Germany was characterized by good ripeness and sufficient acidity – ideal conditions for a Riesling with structure and aging potential. After more than a decade, this wine has reached its full complexity: the fruit has receded, giving way to notes of toasted stone, fine honeyed character, and delicate herbal spice. The acidity remains present and elegant, carrying the wine effortlessly.

Serve this wine with fine fish dishes that are not too creamy – lake trout, seared scallops, or creamy risottos with mineral-forward elements like mushrooms and truffle. The maturity of the wine also pairs well with lighter white meat dishes and aged cheeses.

LIFE BEFORE...

Where possible, and especially with larger wine cellar purchases, the wine cellars of the previous owners tell us a lot about the storage conditions of the wines. A professionally managed wine cellar usually guarantees perfect storage conditions for the wines. We acquire our wines exclusively from reputable, mostly private wine collectors.

HIDDEN FEATURES

Many high-quality wines today feature various security features for authentication, such as markings that only become visible under UV light. We check and compare all purchased wines for these features using an extensive database, and if there is even the slightest doubt, we reject the wine.

THE DETAILS MATTER

We examine wine labels under a microscope to determine their quality, and we check the printed image for any peculiarities that are typical for a particular winery, wine, or vintage. We draw on a large image database to identify any anomalies.

COLOR MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Last but not least, we also examine the wine's composition. Color, turbidity, sediment, and the bubbles in a champagne reveal a lot about the wine's or champagne's condition and potential drinking pleasure.
