Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
At least since the magical 2020 vintage, this grand cru is becoming another Dönnhoff (and Nahe) icon wine next to the estate's Hermannshöhle GG. The 2023 Norheimer Dellchen Riesling trocken GG is bright and clear on the elegant and finely juicy as well as spontaneously inviting nose that indicates perfectly ripe and healthy Riesling fruit that is fully intermingled with the terroir-driven flinty notes. Perfectly round and finessed on the palate, this is a full-bodied, dense and finely juicy, then utterly saline and savory as well as buoyant Dellchen that pairs purity with intensity and a long, complex and promising finish. This is superbly balanced and full of joy. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in August and October 2024.

Description
Dönnhoff Dellchen Riesling Grosses Gewächs comes from the renowned Dönnhoff winery, whose origins date back to 1761. The Dönnhoff family has been cultivating vineyards in the best locations for generations, and their passion and dedication are reflected in every bottle they produce.
The wine is made from the Riesling grape variety, which is grown on steep terraces in a rocky hollow. The soil, composed of schist and porphyry, together with the protection of the surrounding rocks, allows the Riesling grapes to ripen to perfection year after year.
Winemaking
The wine is fermented and matured in stainless steel tanks, giving it a distinctive freshness and purity. With an alcohol content of 13.0%, this Riesling presents itself as a dry white wine, ideal to be enjoyed between 2023 and 2040.
Taste
Dönnhoff Dellchen Riesling GG is characterised by being tremendously spicy and at the same time energetic and elegant. It has a fascinating depth, with a broad spectrum of fine yellow fruit aromas and a floral note. Its texture is so sensual and silky that descriptors such as "full" and "light" become redundant. The finish is impressive and leaves a lasting impression on the palate.
