2020 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.

The brilliantly reliable quality of Donnhoff strikes again here, with a crisp, zesty Riesling; bone-dry and with real character thanks to its combination of ageing in steel tanks and oak barrels. Refreshing flavours of lime and lemon with a salty finish.

Lemon zest tang, lime and apple sorbet, a firm chalky feel, a pleasant amount of bitterness and grip, and a juicy finish of good length. Lots of crunch and energy. And flavour. Very good.

Very fresh, sleek and straight with a slew of summer-fruit and citrus aromas and a super-refreshing, crisp finish. Mostly from little-known vineyard sites in Oberhausen. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink now. Screw cap.
