Donnhoff, Oberhauser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett Nahe 2022

94 points James Suckling
"Stand back as this Riesling lightning strike arrives. Complex nose of dried flowers and summer meadows. Ripe and juicy, but also very elegant and crisp with stunning mineral freshness at the very long pointed finish. Delicious, but also excellent potential. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification."

Jancis Robinson
"AP number 03 23.
Refined and delicate. Pure and racy. Just what the doctor ordered … GV *good value*. 17.5/20 points."

Vinous Reverie Notes
Oberhausen Leistenberg - The Leistenberg vineyard lies in a small side valley of the Nahe just outside Oberhausen. The name is a double play on words. “Leisten ” means “achieve ” in German, and the Leistenberg perpetually lives up to its name. “Lei ” is also a regional word for slate, and these warm, decomposed clay slate soils and steep terraced hillsides provide ideal conditions for Riesling to thrive. Th e southeast-facing slope basks in the morning sun, which dries out any excess moisture and promotes healthy fruit. The afternoon sun is less powerful, nurturing a long ripening period and moderate alcohol levels. An ideal vineyard for Kabinett wines of high minerality and sophisticated elegance. Traditional, precise Kabinett with delicate slate aromatics. Nuanced finesse and spicy acidity.
