2023 Donnhoff... HAS ARRIVED!!
The Donnhoff wines have offically ARRIVED! Now is your chance to secure what is left from the initial pre-sale offers.
Weingut Donnhoff, Nahe
GG (Grosses Gewachs) wines have gained so much traction lately, especially among Burgundy fans as the wines are bone-dry and bursting with minerality and fruit expressions.
For German Riesling fans, there are few greater consistent producers of GG and Pradikat wines than that of Helmut Donnhoff. Several of 2023 have received crazy ratings with a few James Suckling 100-point reviews!
With the excitement the 2023 vintage is bringing, we simply can't get enough and want to share these with you.
And on that note, here is what remains of the 2023 offerings.... the wines...
2023 Hollenpfad im Muhlenberg Grosses Gewachs - JS 99, VN 94-96, WA 94+
"The 2023 Riesling Roxheimer Hollenpfad im Muhlberg Grosses Gewachs comes from the core parcel of this red Permian sandstone site, made separately as a GG from 2017 onwards. This was made in old, neutral Doppelstuck. Gorgeous savor unites fern, yarrow and tansy, all tingling amidst citrus and a gentle creaminess. Immediate concentration and fluidity characterize the palate, and the citrus impression almost attains a touch of lemon oil, still holding these savory, herbal notions. The 2023 has a sinuous shape, great fluidity, beautiful stoniness and tautness, absolute clarity and direction but with a ton of charm. (Bone-dry)" - By Anne Krebiehl MW on July 2024
2023 Felsenberg Felsenturmchen Grosses Gewachs - JS 98, VN 96-98, WA 95
"The 2023 Riesling Schlossbockelheimer Felsenberg Felsenturmchen Grosses Gewachs is picked in the fully south-facir site of porphyry and melaphyr. Cornelius Donnhoff says this is the most challenging site to work, simply because the stones are so hard and unforgiving, retaining almost no water. Thus, a year like 2023 was brilliant for this site. It is always the first GG site to be harvested because the rock retains heat from the day. Tender reduction still casts a flinty spell on the nose. Lovely savor implies crushed citrus foliage merged into iron oxide on the nose. The palate is taut, citric, bright with immense linearity, moving with absolute ease and direction, with energy and punch, towards zesty, cool finish, long, sustained, all with savor and saltiness. The 2023 is a total joy of clarity, direction and stony poise. This is so elegant, so slender, so powerful, and no, this is not a contradiction. (Bone-dry)" - By Anne Krebiehl MW on July 2024
2023 Kreuznacher Krotenpfuhl Kabinett - JS 93, VN 93
"The 2023 Riesling Kreuznacher Krotenpfuhl Kabinett comes from the site's plateau of quartzite and gravel. A subtle flint on the nose still veils the lemon underneath. The palate is gently sweet and juicy, like a tart apple, edged with ripe lemon and tangerine. This light wine is absolutely mouthwatering and dangerously easy to drink." - By Anne Krebiehl MW on July 2024
