Tasting note
Wine information
The Doosberg is situated at an altitude of approximately 120 metres in Oestrich. The soil is characterised by loess and clay. The Riesling was matured in a traditional large wooden cask. The maturation period lasted a full two years: initially one year on the gross lees, followed by six months on the fine lees, and finally time in bottle.
The vineyard lies roughly 100 metres higher than Sankt Nikolaus, with more loess-clay soils here – richer soils that lend greater power and intensity to the wine. In its eastern section, the vineyard enjoys a wonderful southerly aspect, though this is tempered by a certain coolness in some parts.
Colour
Medium straw yellow
Nose
Typical of the Doosberg is its restrained and refined character. Everything appears subtle, yet remains deep and harmonious. The opening is defined by herbal spice and a hint of tobacco, complemented by citrus notes, blossoms, greengages and a touch of fresh sea breeze.
Palate
On the palate, the 2021 Doosberg initially comes across as bright, slender and delicate. Yet with time, one senses the great inner strength, pressure and extract that this Riesling possesses. It drives forward with real momentum, while remaining at once ethereal and sensual, offering tremendous drinkability over a long finish.
