2017 Donnhoff Riesling QbA (fruity style)

Media Reviews

John Gilman

Helmut Dönnhoff joked that the “grapes were so good in 2017 that we ended up with wines that were too serious for basic wines in this vintage.” Such is the case with this lovely Estate Riesling Feinherb, which offers up a fine bouquet of apple, spring flowers, a fine sense of minerality, a bit of citrus zest and a nice touch of saltiness. On the palate the wine is mediumfull, crisp and poised in its balance, with lovely focus and grip and a long, vibrant finish. Good juice. Drink 2018-2030. 89+ points

Delicious aromas of key-lime pie come catapulting out of the glass! Lime syrup and a bit of ginger powder and almost like sugar-dusted jalapeno. Delicate but feisty. 16 points
