"The Dellchen vineyard seems to be getting stronger and stronger with each passing year in the hands of Herr Dönnhoff, and when I asked him about this, he noted that he had to replant the entire parcel after he bought it, and the vines are now just beginning to reach a good age. His first release from the Dellchen was 1995, and with each subsequent vintage the wine has gotten finer and developed more filigree. The 2005 Dellchen SpÀtlese is a lovely wine which is cut in a much more delicate style than the two above wines, as it offers up a complex bouquet of apple, peach, a bit of petrol, and gentle soil tones. On the palate the wine is medium-full, discreet and quite elegant, with good mid-palate depth, fine focus, rather understated acidity, and a lovely long finish. This is another fine bottle of wine . . ."

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.
