"Picked December 6, Donnhoff's 2010 Oberhauser Brucke Riesling Eiswein A.P. #30 leads with penetrating lemon meringue and kirsch; then - as I point out to Donnhoff - while remarkably creamy and weightless, seems almost ominously still and discreet when it first comes to the palate. "Don't worry," says he, "there's more than enough there!" Indeed there is. A flood of lemon and grapefruit rushes in, at once soothing and enervating, capped by honey yet without any superficial sweetness thanks to a classic mutual buffering of acidity, sugar, and extract. This finishes with nearly ineradicable penetration yet no sense of sharpness."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
