Weinhaus Dönnhoff Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett 2024 750ml

The 2024 Riesling Oberhäuser Leistenberg Kabinett was grown on shale on this cool site. Its stony verve adds a touch of lemon zest on the nose. The palate is lightness itself, gently sweet but like a summer breeze carrying notions of clover. This is breezy and stony but tender on the finish. The 2024 is almost weightless. <br/><br/>

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). (Anne Krebiehl MW)

A very cool and crisp wine with juicy white tree fruit and very racy acidity on the sleek, light-bodied palate. Very precise and filigreed finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.
