Why You'll Love It
Refined rather than powerful, this is a Riesling that combines concentration with remarkable finesse. The palate is finely textured, with ripe citrus, white peach and subtle herbal notes carried by crystalline acidity and an unmistakable saline, mineral finish. There is real depth here, yet the wine remains poised and effortlessly balanced throughout. A superb partner for lobster, turbot, scallops or roast chicken with herbs, and a wine with the structure and precision to reward extended cellaring.
About The Producer
The Dönnhoff family has farmed vineyards around Oberhausen in Germany's Nahe valley for more than two centuries. Helmut Dönnhoff transformed the estate into one of Germany's benchmark Riesling producers, and his son Cornelius continues that exacting work today. Their holdings span some of the Nahe's most celebrated sites, including Hermannshöhle, Dellchen, Felsenberg and the volcanic slopes of Schlossböckelheim. Rather than imposing one uniform style, they allow the extraordinary variation in slate, sandstone and volcanic rock to speak through the fruit. Meticulous picking, gentle pressing and carefully judged use of stainless steel and traditional large oak casks give wines of purity, balance and remarkable longevity. From expressive village wines to some of Germany's greatest dry and sweet Rieslings, Dönnhoff is a defining name in the region.
Winemaking Information
Sourced from the historic Norheimer Dellchen vineyard, this Grosses Gewächs comes from steep terraced slopes of slate and volcanic porphyry overlooking the Nahe. The site was revived by the Dönnhoff family and is now recognised as one of the estate's finest vineyards. Grapes are hand-harvested over several passes, gently pressed and fermented before ageing in traditional large oak casks on the full lees for at least six months, followed by a period on the fine lees to build texture and longevity.
