James Suckling - 93 Points
Brimming with floral, white-peach and Amalfi-lemon aromas, this is an extremely elegant, off-dry riesling with a wonderful lightness and purity. The appley freshness and apple-blossom aromas at the finish pull you back for more. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
Vinous - 90 Points
The 2023 Riesling is precisely the same wine as the Riesling trocken but with an arrested ferment at a point that Dönnhoff deems to have a certain balance. Stone, flint and lemon play on the nose. The palate dances, veil-like, barely there, with exquisite lightness. A subtle sweetness highlights juicy apples and tender lemons.
The 2023 Dönnhoff Trocken Riesling is a textbook example of dry German Riesling, racy, elegant, and incredibly food-friendly. A must-try for lovers of crisp white wines.
