2017 Dönnhoff Felsenberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs
Dönnhoff
The fruit comes from the best steep parcels around Dönnhoff's Felsentürmchen in the midst of the magnificent Schlossböckelheimer Felsenberg site. It's outstanding Riesling terroir with a soil of red volcanic igneous rock, a melange of porphyry and melaphyr. Fermented and matured in stainless steel vats and classic oak barrels. A great dry Riesling, very complex, displaying great, smoky crystallised minerality with a flinty character.

Lovely fresh-pineapple and yellow-grapefruit notes with hints of smoke and flint. The palate is concentrated, cool and dry with a very long, mineral finish. From organically grown grapes. Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.

Huckleberry and bay, grapefruit and pineapple inform a site-typical nose of penetrating pungency that anticipates this wine’s palpably dense, seedily piquant, invigoratingly zesty and tangy palate performance. Buddleia and elder flower lend alluring inner-mouth perfume. Juiciness of honeydew melon emerges accompanied by rind-like crunch and bitterness; but these are balanced by a coolingly green herbal presence, tangy citricity and pineapple core tingle.
