Nahe

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.
