Weingut Hemann Dönnhoff is situated between the villages of Niederhausen and Schlossbockelheim in the middle Nahe. The Dönnhoff family have been in this region for over 200 years and are considered one of the finest producers in Germany. Helmut Dönnhoff has been making wine at the estate since 1971 and his son Cornelius joined him in 2007.Helmut Dönnhoff is undoubtedly the most prestigious producer in the region. Indeed, Neal Martin described Dönnhoff as, “to Nahe, what Domaine de la Romanée Conti is to the Côte D’Or” The family own some of the best vineyard sites in the region, many of which are extremely steep and nearly all of the work is done by hand Owing to frost, yields were down in the Nahe by around 30% in 2017 but the quality of the fruit was excellent. A dry, elegant Riesling, very typical of the Dönnhoff estate with lovely purity and precision. Wonderfully fresh and well defined with a tingling minerality.

"Beautiful dry Riesling from a leading winemaker"
