2020 Donnhoff Tonschiefer Dry Slate Riesling

Predominantly from the Leistenberg plus first selections of the local crus, the 2020 Riesling Tonschiefer opens enormously pure and stony as well as citric on the earthy nose that is a terrific representative for the clayish slate terroir. Complex and juicy on the palate, this is a tensioned, finely reductive yet very intense and structured dry Riesling with fine phenolic grip and an expressive finish with salty-piquant and phenolic acidity. An impressive wine. 12% alcohol. 93 points

The nose exhibits a citrusy fragrance, supplemented by a fresh earthy aroma. Totally dry, with the taste of mouth-watering grapefruit and a crisp lemony acidity. 16.5 points
