2019 Donnhoff Tonschiefer Dry Slate Riesling

The 2019 Riesling Trocken Tonschiefer is clear, deep and complex yet bright and refined on the delicately fruity nose. Juicy and mouthfilling yet dense, piquant and structured on the palate, this is a medium-bodied, very fine and elegant dry Riesling with a salty-piquant and pure finish. Highly stimulating and with grip. Tasted as a sample in Bremen, April 2020. 91-92 points

Vibrant, appealingly fruity nose. Some breadth and charm. A food wine that`s already easy to like but should lose its slight chewiness in a few months. Rather chalky texture on the finish. Too dry to drink without food, I feel. 16 points
