"The latest vintage of Donnhoff's flagship wine: this Riesling never disappoints!"
“Bursting with aromas of mandarin and yellow peach, this entry-level dry Riesling is very appealing. Barely medium-bodied, yet so exuberant and elegant. A very crisp finish. Drink now or celller.” (James Suckling 2025) • Screw cap

About the wine:
Freshly bottled with a stated alcohol content of 11%, the Riesling trocken 2024 from Dönnhoff opens with a remarkably intense and aromatic bouquet of yellow stone fruits, intertwined with complex, briny notes from the Middle Nahe terroir. Fresh and flavorful on the palate, it is a light- to medium-bodied dry Riesling—straightforward, pure, and crisp—with remarkable intensity and length, as well as a briny, savory finish. It is not as light and charming as its semi-dry counterpart, but more serious in its expression of terroir. It needs a few weeks or months to settle in a bit. 2026–2032

About the wine:
Riesling trocken 2024 is a blend sourced from numerous terroirs other than the usual Oberhäuser Felsenberg and Kieselberg, but it is made entirely from volcanic and schist soils. An immediate hint of peach on the nose heralds fruit, ripeness, clarity, and freshness. The palate is quite firm, crisp, and ripe, with a sunny character. This wine is sleek and immensely fresh. The 2024 is an absolutely crystal-clear and flavorful Riesling. (Very dry) 2025–2040

About the wine:
Precise and delicate, the bouquet reveals floral and fruity notes—hints of white flowers and citrus, respectively—complemented by a mineral touch. Salty and lively on the palate, the wine is juicy, slightly sparkling, and refreshing. What a burst of flavor and freshness in this Riesling! Now–2034
Falstaff
Wine rated (2025 guide) 91+/100
About the wine:
Floral aromas, lavender, citrus, and fresh orange peel. On the palate, the wine shows beautiful balance; it’s supple on the attack, then juicy, ripe, and rich, with a complexity and minerality worthy of an excellent village wine. Superb!
