2012 Donnhoff Tonschiefer Dry Slate Riesling

Grown on clay-based slate, the Tonschiefer is still shy on the nose, but exhibits gentle stone fruit on the palate. An alternative rendition of estate trocken this is a little more austere with a serious dusty expression reflecting its slatey provenance, but has enough freshness to make it an attractive proposition for future drinking. Drink 2014-2018. 16 points
