One of the most compelling attributes of Riesling is the way it speaks of its birthplace. This reflects the soil and weather as well as the history and culinary traditions. Bone dry to sweet, low alcohol to high, and on and on.
In our little corner of the world, the dry Rieslings of Germany are too often overlooked. Most consumers stop at the border, thinking all German Rieslings are sweet. In truth, most Germans drink dry Rieslings, exporting most of the sweeter bottlings. They know what we need to… dry German Rieslings are fantastic!
Perhaps there is no better entry point that this bottle. Donnhoff is a legend in Germany and, coming from the lesser known Nahe region, a relative bargain. Winemaker Cornelius Donnhoff is a shrewd fellow, knowing this wine is the introduction to his wares for most consumers. So he aims to overdeliver… essentially bottling what others would charge $35 for… available to you as low as $20.99!
T he wines of Donnhoff are ethereal, light and airy… yet possessed of enough complexity and nuance to age for decades. This gem is a zesty offering, featuring fresh lemon, peach and green apple flavors. Elegant, fresh and laser-focused, this is a perfect accompaniment with a partner and some rocking chairs as we savor the waning days of summer. For food… let’s see… popping into the Hermannshole Restaurant just down the street from the winery… Wild Caught Shrimp with Spinach and Madras Curry, Sea Bream Fillet with Provencal Vegetables and Chicken Breast with Carrot-Ginger Puree and Potato Gnocchi are the dishes that catch my eye!
James Suckling: 93 Points
"Fantastic brilliance and a wealth of delicate stone-fruit and citrus aromas, also floral notes! Barely medium-bodied, but with all the attributes that make a dry Nahe riesling a thing of beauty to behold."
