2018 Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Spätlese
Dönnhoff
This site directly by the river is exclusively owned by the Dönnhoff estate. It features ancient rock with clay slate bedrock, covered by a layer of loess loam and has a perfect microclimate for great noble sweet Riesling wines. The vines are between 25 and 35 years old and yield roughly 45hl/ha. 100% selective hand harvest. The musts are fermented and the wines matured in stainless steel vats. This is a Riesling with spicy ripeness and intense fruit. It's very complex with a wonderful balance between ripe fruit sweetness and classy acidity.

This is a decadent sweet wine with bright dried peaches, white truffle and light honey. Tropical fruit, too. Full-bodied, dense and layered with beautiful intensity and richness. Sweet finish.

White peach, quince and red raspberry give an impression on the nose and the creamy, polished palate of both jellied and fresh fruits. An influx of lime serves for welcome, animating brightness, and the penetratingly sustained, mouthwateringly salt-tinged finish is transparent to wet stone, setting up a shimmering fruit–mineral exchange.

The 2018 Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Spätlese is very intense and aromatic on the dense and voluptuous nose. Lush and creamy on the palate, this is a generous and dense, lush and persistent Brücke Spätlese with remarkable freshness and piquancy. It's pretty straight and piquant, with remarkable finesse and mineral tension. Tasted in July 2019.
