Why You'll Love It
This is dry Riesling at its most complete: concentrated yet understated, with a finely textured palate and remarkable freshness. Expect layers of lemon, white peach and citrus blossom, underpinned by smoky, saline minerality and an effortless sense of precision. Despite its intensity, the wine remains poised rather than powerful, making it an exceptional partner for lobster, turbot, scallops or simply a dish where the quality of the ingredients deserves an equally distinguished wine. It will also reward careful cellaring for many years.
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
Produced from old vines in the iconic Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle, Dönnhoff's flagship vineyard and one of Germany's greatest Riesling sites. The steep, south-facing slopes of grey slate, volcanic porphyry and limestone consistently yield wines of extraordinary depth and finesse. After meticulous hand-harvesting in several passes, the grapes are gently pressed before fermentation and ageing in traditional large oak casks. The wine spends at least six months on its full lees, followed by a further period on fine lees, building texture, complexity and exceptional ageing potential.
