Dönnhoff - Nahe Niederhauser Klamm Riesling Kabinett 2023 (sec)

The 2023 Niederhäuser Klamm Riesling Kabinett is pure and flavorful on the nose, revealing ripe yet fresh fruit and mineral notes. Round, lush, and flavorful on the palate, it is a crystalline and concentrated Kabinett—dense and full of character—whose sweetness is better integrated than in the Leistenberg. This Klamm Kabinett is intense and juicy, yet also elegant and refined—rather light and invigorating. 9% alcohol by volume. Screw cap. Tasted in October 2024. 2028–2050

A complex nose, with all the fruit notes present and well-defined. Lemon tart and baked apples. Juicy, concentrated, balanced—and much less lively than the Leistenberg. A serious Kabinett. A crisp, enticing bitterness on the long, lingering finish. 2026–2038

There is a remarkable tension between the juicy aromas of white fruit and grapefruit and the wine’s smoky, stony character. The palate is extremely concentrated and full-bodied, with a bright, energetic quality. The finish is as straight as a laser beam. Ready to drink now or for aging. Screw cap.

This Kabinett plays on multiple levels, offering hints of freshness against a sweet backdrop. It reveals a candied quality, complemented by freshness and minerality. The wine has a soft attack, with vibrancy, tension, and clarity. A concise, charming, and stimulating wine. Best enjoyed through 2043.
