The 2022 Donnhoff Hollenpfad im Muhlenberg Riesling Grosses Gewachs Trocken is a white wine from the Nahe region of Germany, specifically from the sub-region of Roxheim in the Hollenpfad im Muhlenberg appellation. This Riesling, produced by Donnhoff, is a product of a special, old parcel of 40-year-old vines situated in the stoniest parts of the Permian sandstone of the Hollenpfad.

The wine has a 12.5% alcohol content and is sealed with a traditional cork closure. The color is a classic white, typical for Riesling wines.

Vinous reviewed this wine on September 1, 2023, giving it a score of 95 points. Anne Krebiehl MW of Vinous noted that the wine's bouquet starts with a hint of yeast that plays with ripe apricot fruit, which "shimmers shyly on the nose." A subtle note of white pepper emerges later.

Krebiehl describes the palate as "stony yet rounded," with a structure defined by its rockiness. The wine exhibits "vivid glimmers of lemon oil," becoming increasingly zesty as it develops. The description highlights its purity and intensity, marked by "ripe lemon zestiness, white pepper, and iron oxide." The wine leaves a lasting impression, with "buffered lemon zest" filling both the mouth and mind. Krebiehl concludes by calling the 2022 vintage "long, pure, zesty, and insistent."

In summary, the 2022 Donnhoff Hollenpfad im Muhlenberg Riesling Grosses Gewachs Trocken is a bone-dry, highly-rated Riesling that showcases complex flavors and a robust structure, making it a noteworthy choice for Riesling enthusiasts.
