2015 Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Spätlese
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 35hl/ha. 100% selective hand harvest. The must is fermented and the wine matured in stainless steel vats. Noble, classic Spätlese, with full rich fruits on the nose and, despite its impressive intensity, dancingly elegant and buoyant.

The 2015 Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Spätlese opens with an aristocratic bouquet of coolish, flinty slate and citrus perfume along with concentrated Riesling flavors. There is great complexity and expression here! On the palate, this wine is highly elegant and its seamless, silky texture is like that of the Dellchen GG. Very salty, full of finesse and tension on the palate -this is a great, perfectly balanced Spätlese. There is no other Riesling in the Nahe that has such nobly aristocratic attitude. It's one of the finest Spätlese Rieslings you can buy from this vintage.
