2007 Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Spätlese - Germany, Nahe (7/6/2020)
One of those times were the food pairing was so good, its hard to carve out the wine as a standalone and write a note, I’ll do my best. Yes, not the most acidic Spatlese one could choose but the package as a whole was dyn-o-mite. Ripe peach and nectarine notes carry a slight honeyed edge, a small drizzle perhaps. I had a hard time detecting sweetness as again this paired so well with the triple header of grilled pork steaks (marinated in fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and lots of lime juice) and wild herb salad. Crispy black pepper and turmeric wings, and lemon ricotta on charred peppers and cucumber salad. Apologies, shameless plug for the chef there. Anyway, a Hermannshohle rarely disappoints, and certainly not the case last night. (94 pts.)
