Robert Parker

Predominantly sourced in the Leistenberg, the 2024 Riesling trocken Tonschiefer VDP.Gutswein is pure as well as intense on the concentrated and aromatic nose that comes like a desert of crushed blue slate and salts. This is fascinating and represents a superb terroir that has always been one of my all-time favorites when it comes to easy drinking but complex and unique Rieslings. Mouthfilling but light, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a dense and sustainable, quite powerful dry Riesling with a long, aromatic, intense and seriously structured finish. The acidity is an electric beam but focused on fully ripe and textured fruit. There is no need to open a bottle of this classic wine all too soon. Bottled in April with 11.5% stated alcohol.

Stuart Pigott

Very cool and lemony, with plenty of garden herb aromas, this is a very sleek and focused dry riesling that’s barely medium-bodied. Very crisp finish with some herbal and green apple flavors. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

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

Classified as VDP.Gutswein, this Riesling Tonschiefer Trocken from Weingut Dönnhoff comes from a steep vineyard with clay and slate soils, endowing this Nahe wine with great elegance. The vines are approximately 25 to 45 years old.

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.
