Günther Steinmetz Dhroner Hofberg Riesling GD 2019

Brimming with Asian pear, this is simultaneously very succulent and very elegant, some fine tannins keeping the finish of this beauty dry and straight, so that the minerals can dance on your palate. Only moderate acidity and, for this reason, food-friendly without further aging. Drink or hold.

The 2019 Dhroner Hofberg Riesling GD opens pretty intense and floral on the multilayered, stony and flinty/herbal nose that also reveals some mirabelle aromas. Crystalline and silky on the palate, this is a very intense, concentrated, firmly structured and persistent Hofeberg Riesling with a long and dense finish. This is one of the finest 2019s form Stefan Steinmetz, and I recommend cellaring it for at least 5-7 years. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.
