2013 Dönnhoff Hermannshöhle Riesling Grosses Gewächs
Dönnhoff
A perfect, steep southern slope with soils consisting of blackish grey slate and volcanic elements, extremely rich in minerals. This legendary site is the best-rated vineyard in the entire Nahe region. The vines are up to 60 years old and give yields of about 40hl/ha. 100% selective hand harvest. The must is fermented and the wine matured in stainless steel vats and classic oak barrels. A very complex Riesling of noble elegance with a hugely intense, rich fullness of flavour and deep mineral tones. A great dry wine with a mysterious, aristocratic character.

18.5/20
There is something fresh and cool about the fragrance of the Hermannshöhle, although the customary yellow fruit aromas are not missing. On the palate apple and lime produce a mouth-watering alliance which is perfected by a scintillating acidity. Add to this already intriguing combination a generous measure of compact minerality and you have the makings of one of the most promising Grosse Gewächse of the 2013 vintage.
