Weingut Dönnhoff : Riesling Roxheimer Höllenpfad Trocken 2022

Yellow apple and gooseberry flavors show just enough flesh to absorb this white's mineral intensity and acid verve. Offering a structured build, this is powered by mouthwatering acidity and a salty mineral vein that courses from start to finish, as hints of snap pea, chive and lilac add intrigue. Very solid. Drink now through 2032. 150 cases imported.

Very striking nose of wild berries and herbs (tarragon!) plus some white peach. Very zesty and vibrant with stacks of mountain freshness on the sleek and focused body, this has stacks of lime zest and pith at the very energetic dry finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Riesling Roxheimer Höllenpfad is from Permian red sandstone. Despite much swirling, the nose is rather shy and does not want to give up any secrets. The taut palate is more forthcoming with a bright, crystal-clear lemon note. The 2022 is a linear wine with a proper streak of lemon zestiness and a deep well of ripe lemon freshness that is serene, streamlined, clear and lasting. Lovely. The fine acidity is buffered with a beautiful, subtle length. (Bone-dry)
