Donnhoff Estate Riesling 2005

Nov 22, 2007 1 Replies

I'm amazed that this is a QbA. Opened it early yesterday evening, had a few glasses over several hours while watching the cricket and it's an amazing wine for the price. Started out showing mostly grapefruit and mineral flavours, but it just kept evolving with time to develop layers of green apple, flowers, citrus, peach around a lovely minerally core. Plenty of acidity to balance out the bit of sweetness here, incredibly clean and elegant - just a stunning wine, especially at the QbA level. Have most of the bottle still lying in the fridge, and look forward to seeing how it keeps going over the next day or so.



Cheers, Salil


Salil,

how do you manage to have few glasses of a great riesling by Dönhoff over several hours and even have leftovers. When I open a bottle of good riesling (Selbach-Oster, Keller, Dönhoff, Van Volxem...), it does not take more than 30 minutes for the bottle to be finished!!!
