2015 Dönnhoff Riesling, Garmany, Nahe, Wine Review

This is the basic Riesling from one of the top producers of Riesling in the Nahe and in Germany. Drinking quite well today. Screw capped. Light golden in color. The nose has nice minerality and a bit of pineapple. On the palate, this is slightly sweet. Good acidity and balance. Slight pineapple and peach with underlying minerality. Good finish. This will work great with spicy foods or lighter foods. Great value for $20. It should last for another 7 to 10 years but if you can't find this vintage, its good in just about every vintage.

Best German Rieslings (For the Money)

German Rieslings are, to put it bluntly, misunderstood wines. German winemakers will tell you that Riesling is their country's flagship wine and that the Riesling grape works perfectly with the cooler climates and slaty soils of German river valleys. If, however, you ask a group of non-German wine drinkers to tell you about Riesling, several of them will probably use phrases like "too sweet" and "doesn't pair well" in their descriptions. In my opinion, they are missing out on one of the world's great wines.

Screw Capped. Light golden in color. Upon opening there are a slight amount of fine bubbles. It appears to be trapped CO2 which blows of quickly. No harm, no foul. The nose is great with green apples, slight wet rocks, slight lemon and simple syrup. On the palate, this has a fair amount of sweetness. Ripe fruit; citrus and peach. Good balance though.

Considering the screw cap and the sugar and acid levels, this should ha

The 2015 is awesome but it is shutting down as I write this in 2018. Time to let even the basic wines sleep or give them some air. This is light golden in color. The nose has wet rocks and a slight pineapple note. It gives the perception that it will be sweet but it is dry. Great minerality. Long finish. This is under $20 and a great value. Screw capped as well.
