Dönnhoff Estate Riesling Nahe 2025

90 Points! The 2025 Riesling combines bright aromatics of lemon balm with juicy, pale peach and lovely creaminess. This is liquid charm, wonderful ease and purest juiciness. The 28 g/l of residual sugar disappears into the citrus and stone notes. (Off-dry) - Anne Krehbiel MW, Vinous

The idea here is to make a village wine, basically, though it’s sold and marketed as a Gutswein or Estate bottled basic wine. The Estate wine combines the two major soils that dominate the holdings for the estate, giving the drinker a look into what Dönnhoff is all about. The basic wine is a calling card and thus Cornelius Donnhoff wants to make statement. The geology of the middle Nahe is notably shaped by its eons-old clay slate formations and rich volcanic soils. The concentration of porphyry and melaphyr stone in and around the old Oberhausen vineyards – Kieselberg and Felsenberg, help provide the perfect berry base for Gutsriesling.
