What to Expect

Few white wines have achieved the fame that Riesling has in Germany. Its ability to produce a wide range of styles, from bone dry to lusciously sweet, in an even wider range of climates has made it the grape of Germany. Riesling in Germany can range from the steely, piercing wines of the Saar to the round, opulent peachy wines one typically finds in the Nahe and the Pfaltz. Every region is capable of producing both dry and sweet versions though there is a movement towards drier wines that has taken hold throughout many regions.

Winemakers Notes

Dönnhoff is best known for his sweet wines, and rightly so, as these are consistently some of the
most magnificent wines in the world. However, he also demonstrates a mastery of the dry style,
achieving a balance, depth and harmony that have become the hallmarks of this estate. I have
a particular preference for the exquisite Hermannshöhle, from 60-year-old vines, but really,
you can't go wrong with anything that says Dönnhoff on the label.
Incredible intensity, leaping out of the glass with force and magnificent authority. Tropical aromas of
pineapple, read more...caramel, crystallized mango and mango syrup, packed with concentrated depth and an ultravelvety
texture, but somehow tautly-wound, with a finely-tuned, silky balance of power and finesse.
Opulent and creamy yet crystal-clear, incredibly pure, virtually unending.    (hide)
