2018 Dönnhoff Estate Riesling
Dönnhoff
Characterful dry Riesling from vines aged 15 to 30 years old on the steeply sloping vineyards of the middle Nahe region. The vines grow in stony, weathered volcanic soils of porphyry and melaphyr in particular, with certain amounts of slate and quartzite. Fermented and matured in stainless steel vats and large oak barrels. Wonderfully fresh and well defined, elegant with a tingling minerality. A delicious wine for every day with moderate alcohol and very soothing acidity.

Brilliant transparency for an estate riesling here; this is glimmering in lightly soaked stones, white pepper, green apples and paprika. Very polished and very pure on the medium-bodied palate with loads of petrichor undertones. Taut and fine framed. Drink now.

Issuing as usual from the volcanic Oberhäuser Felsenberg and (as its name suggests) cobbled, gravelly Kieselberg, this year’s dry Dönnhoff Gutsriesling brims with fresh apple and lime for a juicy and invigoratingly tart-edged performance. It’s firm in feel, bright, buoyant and transparent to stony underpinnings.
