Weingut Dönnhoff : Riesling Roxheimer Höllenpfad Trocken 2024

A lively, crystalline Nahe white wine

The estate

For over 250 years, Weingut Dönnhoff has cared for a unique terroir of steep, vertiginous slopes along the banks of the Nahe. Helmut Dönnhoff crafts, vintage after vintage, great German wines from a mosaic of terroirs, expressing the complexity, purity, and myriad nuances of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Gris.

Recognized across borders as among the greatest white wines in the world, the wines of Weingut Dönnhoff captivate with their elegance, aromatic richness, freshness, and exceptional minerality that emerges after several decades of cellaring.

Vineyard

Covering 25 hectares, the terroir of Weingut Dönnhoff owes its uniqueness to a multiplicity of soils and exposures that offer ideal conditions for the grapes to reach optimal ripeness. Meticulously tended, the 20- to 70-year-old vines produce low yields that give rise to high-quality German wines.
