2015 Dönnhoff Dellchen Riesling Grosses Gewächs
Dönnhoff
A historic steeply sloping vineyard which Dönnhoff awoke from its slumber. Steep terraces in a hollow with slate and porphyry soils. The vines are about 20 years old and yield about 35hl/ha. 100% selective hand harvest. The must is fermented and the wine matured in classic wooden barrels and stainless steel vats. Vigorously spicy and at the same time dancingly elegant with great depth and a fascinating charisma.

The new Miss World of white wines is Cornelius Dönnhoff’s Dellchen. A ravishing nose of wild roses and white peach leaves no possibility of doubt. The very sleek and perfectly proportioned body dances on the palate like no other wine of this vintage. The finish is super filigree and super long.

A fascinating concoction of mirabelle, yellow plum and rhubarb flan does not need the help of tropical-fruit overdrive to excite the nostrils of even the most pampered Riesling enthusiast. Total purity is the trademark of Dönnhoff’s Grosse Gewächse, and the Dellchen uses mineral finesse and perfectly poised acidity to achieve this aim.
