Oberhäuser Brücke, Riesling, Spätlese, 2024
The Brücke Spätlese 2024 is medium bodied in style with a good freshness and cool, tapered fruits, offering a lot of up-front charm – it will require a few years to develop the complexity that only bottle ageing can bring. Produced from one of Dönnhoff’s coolest sites, Brucke is a low vineyard close to the river which excels at Spätlese level and occasionally produces scintillating Eiswein.
critic reviews
The 2024 Riesling Oberhäuser Brücke Spätlese is the only separately made wine from the domaine in this year of frost. Sandstone, shale, volcanic formations, loess and loam soils meet on this site that is cool at night but close to the river. Very often, this area is picked last. There was no botrytized grapes included here. The nose is all citric lift, with a beautifully pristine touch of lemon oil. The palate is smooth, rounded and framed by zest. Svelteness, tenderness and concentration unite to form a soothing vision. The finish is a lasting picture of weightless elegance. (Medium)
