The Winery

Dönnhoff

Great Riesling is like a very large orchestra playing very quietly.
– Helmut Dönnhoff, Founder

The first of the Dönnhoff family came to the Nahe region of Germany over 250 years ago to establish a farm in the village of Oberhäusen an der Nahe. The wine estate was started by Helmut Dönnhoff’s grandfather, Hermann, in the 1920s with only 4 hectares under vine. After many years focusing on expansion and improving quality, Helmut and his son, Cornelius, expanded to 25 hectares and a total of nine different single-vineyard sites, all classified as Grand Cru. The estate recently joined a new sustainable certification called Fair’n’Green which is supported by the German Government as well as the Frauhofer Institute, one of Europe’s top research organizations. Although it is not used as a marketing tool, it has become a way for growers to share information and expand their knowledge for future generations to come.

Tasting Notes

V92
Pale golden yellow.Mesmerizing aromas of papaya, cherry, sweet herbs and tobacco. Discreet yet intense cherry fruit rises from the mid-palate, accompanied by brilliant acidity. Animated and spicy wine with a riveting finish. Perhaps the finest of the spatleses shown here. Rating: 92+
