The Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett 2023 single-vineyard Riesling from the Nahe region. Demonstrating finely balanced notes of green apple and delicate pear, it is framed by a distinct citrus lift, reminiscent of lemon zest. This wine is sourced from a vineyard with a unique microclimate, sheltered by the Lemberg hill, which mitigates harsh weather elements. The site`s steep gradient and weathered grey slate soils contribute to the wine`s structure. Dönnhoff, a winery renowned for its meticulous approach to viticulture, has been producing Riesling in the Nahe since the 18th century.

The 2023 Riesling Oberhäuser Leistenberg Kabinett is from a south-east-facing site of shale, getting the morning sun; this is never affected by botrytis and is shaded in the afternoon, so a late harvest is possible because botrytis never occurs, and acids are preserved. The nose combines lemon zest, stone and herbal tisane. The palate adds just a little sweetness, giving the charm to the citric verve, but all remains light, tender, bright and so deceptively easy. What a tease, what elegance, what lemon resonance! (Medium)

Delicate flowers and cooling spice, apricot stone and appley goodness. Citrus purity over an elegantly astringent core. Thrilling balance of sweetness and acidity, moving the needle ever so slightly in the direction of racy. Elegant and weightless. (PS)
