Description
Yellow fruit aromas straining at the leash and not to be contained by herbaceous notes of fermentation for much longer. Not tempted by the exotic ways, the expression of fruit is clearly local – ripe yellow plums and apricots. A touch spirity, but with the crystallinity of a perfectly defined eaux-de-vie rather than the power of a cognac. The balance is so harmonious that it’s almost inadequate to mention the separate parameters of acidity, fruit, body and minerality. Its great concentration is only surpassed by its elegance and finesse. Michael Schmidt, jancisrobinson.com (19)

Delivery Information
Only the best hand-picked fruit will do, in order to produce wines that are honest reflections of the Riesling grape and the terroir its planted in whether it be the volcanic soils of the Kupfergrube (copper mine), the deep, cool Brücke, the slate/sandstone Hermanshohle or the slate of the Leistenberg. Fermentation is in the traditional large old wooden casks and there is a light filtration before bottling. Some of Germany’s most intense, bewitching and mouth watering wines, that mixes Rheingau body with Mosel minerality.
The Donnhoff family bought a modest estate in the Nahe in the 1750s. In 1971 current owner, Helmut Donnhoff produced his first vintage and has not looked back since. A regular on the shortlist of German Winemaker of the Year and actual winner in 1999, Helmuts work is helping the Nahe to take a share of the plaudits showered on the more internationally renowned German wine regions of the Mosel and the Rheingau. His cool, calm demeanour is a stark contrast to the demonic fervour with which he tends his vineyards.
