2019 Felsenberg Felsentürmchen Riesling Dry Grosses Gewächs, Dönnhoff, Nahe

2019 Felsenberg Felsentürmchen Riesling Dry Grosses Gewächs, Dönnhoff, Nahe

Named after the “Felsentürmchen”, or small stone tower, that sits in the middle of the vineyard here, the weathered volcanic porphyry soil warms up quickly in this south-facing slope, and there’s ripe citrus and greengage fruit galore. It sits in the shadow of the Dellchen and Hermannshöhle, but is not to be missed in 2019.

Tasting notes

The 2019 Riesling GG Felsenberg is pure, fresh and flinty on the precise, perfectly ripe and complex nose. Lush and generous on the palate, this is a full-bodied, intense, salty, remarkably finessed and structured Felsenberg Riesling with lingering salinity and crystalline character. The finish is dense and very complex yet vital, fresh and long, with lots of expression. Tasted as a sample in Bremen, April 2020.
