Description
A lively German white wine from the Nahe region with delicate aromas
The estate
For over 250 years, Weingut Dönnhoff has tended a unique terroir of dizzyingly steep 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 multiple 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 blossoms after several decades of aging.
Vineyard
Covering 25 hectares, the terroir of this essential German estate is distinguished by its diverse soils and exposures, offering ideal conditions for grapes to reach optimal ripeness. Given meticulous care, the vines, aged 20 to 70 years, produce low yields of very high quality.
The wine

Winemaking and aging
Rigorous selection during hand harvesting ensures only top-quality grapes are kept. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and large oak casks, as does maturation.
Blend
This 2024 Tonschiefer Trocken from Weingut Dönnhoff is 100% Riesling.
