Top Notes For
Bob McDonald

A dry German Riesling (13% ABV) - a top shelf GG. Aromatics of peach and mineral which translate to the palate. Also tropical fruit notes (pineapple) on the palate. Quite delicious. Medium minus acid. Could cellar for a couple more years if desired, but this is pretty much at its peak. The memorable aspect to this Riesling was the purity. Jancis’s German expert, Michael Schmidt gave this wine 19/20. Dry Riesling doesn’t get much better than this.

Bit more open than the Hermannshöhle with some passion fruit, pineapple and fresh sliced white peaches. Good structure, medium body. A well made GG.

Helmut's wines are super fine and well made, the Dellchen is a fine example of his capacity to make super wine. Great acidity and structure and already a big nose
