2016 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.

Another 2016 Spätlese from Dönnhoff that's still a bit shy on the nose, but on the palate it’s like a huge glittering diamond with more facets flashing many colours. An extremely long super-mineral finish that is impeccably clean in spite of the generous grape sweetness in this masterpiece of elegance. Better from 2018 with decades of ageing potential. Made from organic grapes and Fair'n Green certified.
