2021 vintage. Leesy roundness and ripping acidity have a good tension in this wine. Melon rind and flesh, green pear, lemon, green apple, rocks, Alka Seltzer. Delightful. — 4 years ago

2020. One of three Rieslings we had with dinner tonight at The Oven Cellar. Dönnhoff is my daughter’s favorite producer, but she’s never had a GG wine. This wine had the creamiest texture and great orchard fruit flavors. Paired great with the all the dishes we had. — 4 months ago

See previous note from February 2024. Peachy and mineral. Absolute purity on the palate with profound intensity and medium minus acidity. At 10 years still with a future but hard to beat right now. Jancis Robinson’s German expert, Michael Schmidt, scored this 19/20. Seriously a world class dry Riesling (13% ABV). Some tasters are getting petrol/kerosene aromas but I’m not getting that. — a year ago

The first sip is like a crystal explosion, shattering into shards of pure flowers, lime, calcite rocks and smoked fruit candy. Smoked plum, apricot blossom, muskmelon, citrus peel and an electric zing of minerals on the palate. The tense delight of lemon candy. What a fantastic negotiation of subtle sweetness and unbridled acid. — 4 years ago

Excellent. Sip on its own. Or pair with asian food. Can’t really go wrong with Dönnhof. And at this level and with srewcap this over delivers - the typical tropical flavors - very well balanced with just the right amount of acidity. Obviously sweet at just 8.5%. — 2 months ago

Quite deep yellow lemon colour . Quite explosive on the nose lemon peel , mint , ripe spiced red apple . On the palate focused with citrus peel , ripe apple , stony hints , honey . Vibrant acidity and lovely balanced sweetness , really well balanced and long finish . Still with red apple , orange peel , mint and stony hints . Drink now and over the next 10 years. Intense and perfectly balanced . — 6 months ago
