2019 Donnhoff Kreuznacher Kahlenberg Dry

The 2019 Riesling trocken Kreuznacher Kahlenberg is clear, pure and flinty on the bright yet intense, concentrated, exciting and stony-scented nose. From pebbly loess and loam soils, this is a lush, salty, very fine and stimulating dry Riesling with very attractive fruit, lingering salinity and fine grip. Really stimulating. Tasted as a sample in Bremen, April 2020. 92-93 points

Broad, hazelnut nose. Pure Riesling fruit and very sleek texture. Really quite a charmer whose acidity seems well reined-in. You could happily drink this now with or without food. Great balance and sophistication. 16.5+ points
