This is an exciting harbinger of wines to come from the 2022 harvest in Germany from one of the top estates in the Nahe. The nose reveals vibrant fruit aromas of lemon, green apple and pineapple with hints of flowers, ginger and mint. The flavors are pure and invigorating. The apple, citrus and tropical fruit elements are underlain by the enchanting gingery spice plus subtle floral and herb hints and a touch of honey. Made in an off-dry style, the balance is perfect and the finish is long. The purity and depth of flavor is emblematic of Dönnhoff’s style.
