The 2017 vintage in Germany was smaller than usual due to severe spring frosts and a hot, dry summer, but top producers like Dönnhoff crafted truly brilliant wines. Dönnhoff hit the bull's eye in 2017, producing some of the finest dry Rieslings of this remarkable vintage. The 2017 Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling GG is noted for combining ripe and intense fruit with flinty and floral notes, as well as crushed slate aromas. James Suckling praised its high elegance, with very fine aromas of white and yellow peaches, a thousand wild herbs and flowers, and enormous delicacy on the very long finish. John Gilman described a complex bouquet of grapefruit, tart orange, citrus zest, salty slate minerality, dried flowers, and a smoky topnote, leading to a deep, full-bodied, and sleek palate with superb fruit and excellent mineral drive. This elegant Riesling pairs wonderfully with shellfish, crab, and lobster. It also complements pork, poultry, spicy food, and cured meats. Given its elegance and complexity, this wine is ideal for a refined tasting experience, a celebratory seafood dinner, or as a thoughtful gift for a Riesling enthusiast. It's a wine that showcases the potential of a challenging vintage through masterful winemaking. 【A benchmark for dry German Riesling in a challenging vintage】
