2018 Donnhoff Riesling QbA (fruity style)

Media Reviews

Julia Harding MW

The QbA bottling, described as `fruchtig`. TA 8 g/l, RS 29 g/l. Richer and riper on the nose than the Höllenpfad Riesling trocken. Medium sweet but balanced. Creamy in the mouth thanks to the fruit ripeness but still deliciously fresh. Reasonably persistent too. 16 points

The 2018 Estate Riesling Feinherb had also been bottled at the start of the week, ahead of my Thursday afternoon visit, but it was showing quite well indeed (despite having to follow-up all of those GG fireworks). This wine comes in at 10.5 percent alcohol, has acids of 8.5 grams and sports around twenty-five grams of sugar this year. The bouquet is very pretty, offering up scents of white cherries, apple, salty minerality and spring flowers. On the palate the wine is medium-full, crisp and juicy, with very good backend mineral tug, bright acids and lovely focus and grip on the absolutely delicious finish. Another bargain! 2019-2040. 89 points

The 2018 Riesling (Estate) is highly aromatic and elegant on the clear, precise and flinty nose. Clear and fresh on the palate, this is an aromatic, almost dry and gripping Riesling with attractive fruit and piquant minerality. Tasted in July 2019. 87 points
