Tasted by: Peter Richards MW
Drinking Window: 2020 - 2030
Is there a more perfect summer wine than this? It's hard to better this thrilling combination of ethereal grace with steely tension - a ballet dancer of a wine, underpinned by vivid green apple acidity but suffused with a fleshy succulence and richness typical of great Kabinett wines. Dönnhoff's characteristic emphasis on purity and precision shines through, as does the Leistenberg vineyard's minerality and elegance.
