Dönnhoff
Monopole directly on the Nahe river on ancient rock with clay slate bedrock, covered by a layer of loess loam. Vines are aged between 25 and 35 years. 100% selective hand harvest. A Riesling with spicy ripeness, intense fruit, very complex with wonderful balance between fruit, minerals and elegant, dancing acidity.

Dönnhoff first dry Riesling from their monopole Brücke (bridge) site in many years with a much more limited production than the other GGs. Tart blackcurrant and grapefruit notes dominate the nose suggesting that this is going to be quite a cool and tart wine, and indeed it is. Enormous drive and depth on the palate lead into a whiplash finish.
