Spice, floral, dust and minerals. Short to medium finish. Solid effort. (90 pts.) - 2021 Dönnhoff Riesling Tonschiefer trocken – Germany, Nahe
This is a step up from the first two Donnhoff wines at the tasting. More complexity and offers a mild funkiness which I liked along with floral, minerals, slate, pear and apple peel. Medium finish and nice. (92 pts.) - 2021 Dönnhoff Kreuznacher Kahlenberg Riesling trocken – Germany, Nahe

While I liked the Trocken wines from Donnhoff now we are talking. Honey suckles, peach, pear, apricot, slate and floral notes. Medium plus finish and delicious would be a good description of this wine. (93 pts.) - 2021 Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Klamm Riesling Kabinett – Germany, Nahe
Not as good as the oberhauser but solid indeed. Pear, peach, minerals and tropical fruit. Medium finish. (91 pts.) - 2021 Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Spätlese – Germany, Nahe
Hello! Why do I not drink more German Rieslings? Peach, pear, minerals, slate and dried pineapple. Nice acidity and medium plus finish. Outstanding. (93 pts.) - 2021 Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Spätlese – Germany, Nahe
My favorite of the Donnhoff Rieslings today. Honey, orange marmalade, slate, floral notes and ripe peaches. Medium plus finish and vibrant acidity. This will age for 20 plus years. (94 pts.)
