2019 Donnhoff Nahe Riesling

Helmut Dönnhoff and son Cornelius are hailed for making the best Rieslings in the Nahe region and some of the finest anywhere in the world. Cornelius bears with him the promise and burden of great expectations. Dönnhoff’'s world-renowned Rieslings were first carried into the international limelight by his father, but now it is the son assuming an increasing share of the responsibility for the estate.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a distinct tinge of green around the outskirts and a watery hue. Pronounced lime juice, red apple and light honeysuckle aromas tail off into subtle orange blossom and slatey mineral notes. Light and fresh yet possessing good textural volume across the palate, lime, juicy red apple, pear and honeysuckle flavours fill the mouth complimented by light mandarin and flinty mineral characters on the back half. Vibrant juicy like acidity with a semi off dry finish and deliciously fruity aftertaste.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 10.5%

Other Reviews…..
A very attractive, just off-dry riesling with tons of fruit-salad character, but no hint of anything banal. Quite the opposite in fact, as this is precisely balanced and has a long, very clean finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink now. Screw cap.
