The Wine
Dönnhoff is one of the finest, most exciting family estates of Germany's Nahe. Dating back to 1750, it was headed up until recently by the founder's grandson Helmut Dönnhoff. Helmut’s son, Cornelius, is now winemaker and has "bottled probably the best wine series in the history of the domaine" said Wine Advocate's Stephen Reinhardt. The family is proud to own some of the best vineyards in all Nahe, including the Erstes Gewachs Höllenpfad. Its grapes are taken from Höllenpfad’s red sandstone soil slopes that earn their name by being hellishly steep and having a reddish glow. The soil and sharp incline give this wine its amazing intensity and distinct, spicy, peppery fruit. A very fine white that will develop with another few years’ ageing.
