Donnhoff Riesling Norheimer Dellchen GG 2017 (1.5L)

100 JS / 18.5 JR

#3 James Suckling's Top 100 Wines of 2018

An enormous spectrum of fruit aromas, from peaches through grapefruit to wild strawberries and pineapple. However, that doesn't prepare you for the mind-blowing concentration and brilliance on the palate. Extremely filigree finish, in spite of the profound minerality. From organically grown grapes. Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. Limited production. James Suckling

Purity of fragrance with plenty of local orchard fruit, supported by a fine floral hint. Although the texture is mouth-coating and viscous, subtle peel notes and a vibrant acidity keep the taste buds alert. Finally a stony minerality gets a real grip on the long finish. (MS) - Jancis Robinson .com
