Description

2023 Riesling, Tonschiefer, Dry Slate, Dönnhoff, Nahe, GermanyThe Dnnhoff family have been growing vines in Germanys Nahe region since 1761. This Riesling comes from an area with distinctive Tonschiefer bedrocks that impart a unique character to its wines. The vineyard is one of the original plots owned by the family, and is currently planted with vines between 25 and 45 years old. This is rife with citrus fruit flavours: grapefruit, lime and orange zest, alongside a fine mineral spice. Pair it with Asian dishes.

There are further fresh fruits on the palate before some light spices appear

and with a prestigious location right next to both Mouton and Lafite

Chewy tannins on the palate accompany dark fruit (plum and black cherry) and a bit of olive

and demonstrated a youthful character that suggests that it has another 20 or 30 years of potential ageing

The blend is led by Merlot (88%)
