2013 Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett
Dönnhoff
Steep, southeast-facing slope with grey clay slate soil. The morning sun dries the grapes, keeping them healthy; while the afternoon sun is not so direct, allowing the grapes to ripen for a very long time without becoming overripe. A perfect vineyard for Kabinett wines! The vines are 25 to 30 years old and yield about 50hl/ha. 100% selective hand harvest. Fermented and matured in stainless steel vats and large oak barrels. This is a Riesling with well-defined, spicy fruit, very elegant with a wonderful balance between fine fruit sweetness and firm acidity.

Fragrant, flowery lime blossom aromas lead like the path of an arrow into the bullseye of the glorious lime juice palate, the tension between the fruit and the electric acidity mouthwateringly intense. A perennial favourite of mine, this will be particularly long-lived thanks to that acidity. 9.5% alc; screwcap. Drink to 2026.
