Slightly disappointed with this wine that I tried this summer in the 2018 vintage. Comparing from memory this 2019 is a lot more acidic had less body than the charming 2018. It’s not a bad wine by any means(have never tasted a bad bottle of Dönnhoff) but just not very interesting and the acidity was too high compared to the fruit. Will this mend with age? I don’t know but since these wines are meant to be drunk young it was definitely a bit unbalanced

Dönnhoff Winery visit: Butter and tropical fruits in the bouquet. On the palate crisp acidity, white and yellow fruits, a slight touch of sweetness and good acidity. 88+
