The estate was founded in 1890 by Mainz banker Carl Gunderloch, and the cuvee 'Jean-Baptiste' is named for the character Jean-Baptiste Gunderloch in Carl Zuckmayer's play 'Der froehliche Weinberg'. This is Gunderloch's classic off-dry Kabinett and one of the great everyday pleasures in the German section. The fruit comes off the lower terraces of the grand cru Pettenthal, so there's real pedigree behind the price. It's light, low in alcohol, and beautifully balanced - just enough sweetness to round the edges, more than enough acidity to keep it snapping. Chill it down and pour it on a hot afternoon, or set it against a bowl of something spicy and watch it do exactly what off-dry Riesling was born to do.

"The 2024 Riesling Jean Baptiste Kabinett is named after the estate’s founder. This was picked in the lower reaches of Pettenthal. Red apple beckons on the nose with crunchy juiciness and an edge of tansy. The palate is so fluid, with gentle sweetness and a slight smattering of white pepper. This is full of energy and tingling freshness." —Anne Krebiehl, MW

"The 2024 Riesling Kabinett Feinherb Jean Baptiste is clear, bright and savory on the saline and crystalline nose that shows precisely defined fruit intermingled with nuances of butter speculoos. Light, round and juicy, with a just-ripe phenol grip, this is a classical Kabinett with just 9.5% stated alcohol, moderate sweetness and crystalline, saline acidity. Screw cap. Tasted in September 2025." —Stephan Reinhardt

More about Gunderloch

Johannes Hasselbach took over this Rheinhessen stalwart in 2016 and immediately started making them drier, more mineral, lower in alcohol. That's the move. The Rothenberg vineyard—which they own sixty-five percent of—produces some of Germany's finest Riesling: structured, age-worthy, full of yellow fruit and the kind of acidity that makes food sing.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
