Dönnhoff Oberhauser Brucke Spatlese 2024

The 2024 Riesling Oberhäuser Brücke Spätlese is the only separately made wine from the domaine in this year of frost. Sandstone, shale, volcanic formations, loess and loam soils meet on this site that is cool at night but close to the river. Very often, this area is picked last. There was no botrytized grapes included here. The nose is all citric lift, with a beautifully pristine touch of lemon oil. The palate is smooth, rounded and framed by zest. Svelteness, tenderness and concentration unite to form a soothing vision. The finish is a lasting picture of weightless elegance. (Medium)
