Not quite as energetic as I was hoping.

2014 drunk in early 2024. Delicious. Bright and alive with a little honey. Said it before, but it’s unfair to other wines how good Dönnhoff is.

2014. This wine is my jam. Energetic, with great clarity, and so joyful. Off-dry Kabinett that's only 9% alcohol.

The acidity dominates when their this young. Barely ripe pineapple, ripe pear pulp, golden apple, lemon/lime juice, citrus blossoms, white & yellow florals, super fine soft minerality, enamel removing acidity and a nice even lasting finish. Good pair with my spicy Asian lettuce wraps.

Clear straw. Green apple, lemon zest, and mineral on the nose and palate. Firm, mouth-watering backbone of acidity with a medium short slightly saline finish. Begs for food. Smothered pork chops anyone?

Pear, white flowers/honeysuckle, slate. Good acidity and quite a bit of RS. Begs for a rich, spicy, curry.

Peach, elderflower, petrol a bit, very nice, inviting nose. The palate is acid driven with a bright fruit all along and some width and matter and grip on the sides. The finish is rather long and fresh with elderflower notes. Very good sip. More of that!
