Dönnhoff
Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl Kabinett Riesling
Nahe, Germany
White flowers and passionfruit on the nose. Quite lovely and delicate with a perfumed finish, and ripe nectarine in the background.

Killer stuff as always from Dönnhoff. Never had this particular site from them, seems to produce a slightly leaner, more chiseled wine than the Dönnhoff Kabinett I’ve had from other sites. Simultaneous raciness and ripe juiciness. Great example of the classic Kabinett style.
- Color: pale straw hue
- Nose: flinty, slatey minerality, underripe nectarine and pineapple, Thai basil, a smattering of sweet floral notes, a bit of hallmark Riesling petrol/pool toy TDN character, white pepper, and a bit of yeasty, cheese rind leesiness
- Palate: ripe, juicy nectarine and pineapple, just-ripe mango, cherry blossom, clean, slate-y minerality, sweet Thai basil, and a bit of slight TDN character as on the nose
- Acid: high
- RS: medium (-)/medium, nicely balances out the acid and adds juiciness and ripeness to fruit character
- Alcohol: low
- Body: light/medium (-); slightly oily, glycerine texture

Excellent with aromas of petrol and minerality. A hint of sweetness that has apricot and candied apple flavors. Nice crispness with a creamy body. Paired great with our walnut rosemary salmon.

Riesling master Donnhoff makes wines typically heavy on beeswax and vanilla and 2016 is accompanied by pleasant lime blossom. Luscious, juicy, sweet, and sour with concentrated honey and white flowers.
