Dönnhoff Riesling
Ref. 0294
This is an intensely aromatic wine, with a chalky aroma. From the outset on the palate there is wonderful fresh acidity and the mid palate is fat and soft. It has an appealing, juicy finish and great length too. This is really good wine.

- Other info: The Nahe River flows north into the Rhine at Bingen at the western end of the Rheingau. The best wines from the Nahe have been described as having the elegance of the Rheingau, the body of a Rheinhessen and the acidity of a Mosel. There are several outstanding producers in the area, with the most celebrated being Hermann Dönnhoff. He produces some of Germany's finest Rieslings from the world-famous Niedehausen and Schlossböckelheim vineyards, as well as from the less well known Norbeim and Oberhausen vineyards. His Kabinett and Spätlese wines are exceptionally racy wines that are rich with complex and intense mineral overtones. They are delicious when young but have the potential to improve for up to ten years, with the top wines lasting even longer.

- Press: ‘For the second year in a row Helmut Dönnhoff has left me shaking my head in wonder. Having tasted the greatest wines in the world, year in year out, as a wine merchant and as a critic, did not prepare me for this awe inspiring experience of tasting … they are magical, emotional, breath taking. Words cannot do them justice’. The Wine Advocate Feb 2004.
