FEATURES
The Dönnhoff Riesling Felsenberg GG 2025 is a future vintage, and as such, detailed tasting notes and reviews are not yet widely available. However, the Felsenberg GG is a highly anticipated release from a renowned producer. Dönnhoff is a leading winery in Germany's Nahe region, and the Felsenberg vineyard is a very old and famous VDP.GROSSE LAGE® site. Located on a steep southern slope, the vines grow in weathered volcanic porphyry soil, which heats quickly during the day, imparting characteristic Rieslings with racy fruitiness, mineral acidity, and distinctive flinty aromas. Past vintages of Felsenberg GG have been described as pure, bright, and flinty on the nose, with iodine and phenolic complexity. They are full-bodied yet refined and elegant, balanced, light-footed, rich, and dense, offering juicy fruit and crystalline acidity. Flavors often include lemon, tart orange, pink grapefruit, elder flowers, and a precise volcanic minerality. The wines are typically bone dry, with notes of grapefruit, apple, pear, and a savory mineral wave, often exhibiting a crunchy texture. 【From the VDP.GROSSE LAGE® Felsenberg vineyard, known for its distinctive flinty aromas and profound volcanic minerality.】
