Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

From slate and volcanic soils, the 2021 Dellchen GG opens with a radiant, bright, pure and flinty bouquet with fascinating, refined and subtle, highly elegant yet delicate mirabelle and Amalfi lemon fruit intertwined with slatey notes. The bouquet is heavenly to me (and will be, believe me, for all true Riesling lovers). Mahler's 8th symphony, Fausten's Ascension—it's all here. Subtle intensity, a sense of wonder, perfectly interwoven, natural beauty. This nose already tells everything, and I couldn't go on to the next wine for more than half an hour. On the palate, this is a subtle and delicate, highly filigreed yet also incredibly intense, lush and slatey, long, stimulatingly saline and always uplifted Riesling with perfectly ripe and lush fruit with fine tannins. It is a juicy, ripe wine with crystalline acidity and endless salinity that carries everything. This Dellchen is intense yet never gets heavy, but it becomes even more intense. This is immaculate, highly emotional Riesling. It's not just the most beautiful Dellchen I have ever tasted but certainly also the most fascinating dry Riesling I have ever had. This is pure art. An adorable wine and with so much soul. It can't be expensive enough. When Helmut Dönnhoff was speaking about the feminine, charming and tender character of the cru, it is all here. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.

Features

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.
