2023 Donnhoff Riesling QbA Dry

The 2023 Riesling was picked in the Oberhauser Felsenberg, on porphyry and melaphyr, and in the Oberhauser Kieselberg, which, despite its name, is Tonschiefer (shale). The wine is made 90% in stainless steel and the rest in neutral wood. The golden wine sprays with a fruity freshness that holds a crunchy green apple, Reine Claude plum, overtones of blossom and joyful, sunny fruitiness. The palate is super-slender, dry and sprightly, carrying all this fruit and freshness, and it is totally straight-laced and clear. (Bone-dry) 89 points
