Donnhoff, Niederhauser Hermannshohle GG Riesling 2011 Casa Clara Soft plum and red fruit

Soft plum and red fruit flavours also show a savoury streak

cinnamon and crushed leaves with a bright mineral seam running through it

On the palate they are joined by flavours of vibrant citrus and toasted hazelnut

Wood on the nose with hints of vanilla and caramel

rum-flavored chocolates and sugar cookies

Donnhoff, Niederhauser Hermannshohle GG Riesling 2011 Casa Clara Soft plum and red fruitStony citrus again, with a dusty minerality. Subtle fragrance and just a touch of lime underneath. Slightly riper on the palate than the 2010 but less intensity than the Dellchen 2011. And not as long, though on second tasting I realise it is longer than I thought at first. Hint of spice at the very end. Elegant and understated. Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson. com (16. 5)
