Description
In a nutshell:
A fine, dry, characterful German Riesling from the Nahe Valley.
The lowdown:
This dry Riesling is a classic example of Dönnhoff's craft. Grown on stony, weathered volcanic soils, and harvested and then matured in a mix of stainless steel and large German oak barrels. Wonderfully fresh and elegant with a backbone of minerality and well balanced acidity. Classic notes of lime and green apple, refined and complex, and finished with a long length. Standout German dry estate Riesling.
The Producer:
The Dönnhoff estate is firmly established as one of the best producers in the beautiful Nahe Valley and can trace its roots back to the mid-1700s. They're based in the small town of Oberhausen in the heart of the region where they have around twenty hectares of vines mainly planted with Riesling. Under the guidance of Helmut Dönnhoff, winemaker from the early 1970s, the estate established its reputation as one of the finest in the region with admirers such as Hugh Johnson and Robert Parker. Helmut's son, Cornelius, is now at the helm and with the skill and passion he's clearly inherited the quality of the estate's output continues to impress.
When to drink:
As an aperitif, with fish dishes, or try with pasta in light, non-tomato sauces.
Suitable for Vegans
