The slate soil of the vineyard provides the mineral backbone in this delicate and fruity wine which has a very elegant acidity. VINEYARD The Dönnhoff estate is located in the town of Oberhausen in the Nahe wine-growing region in Germany. The vineyard area today totals 20 hectares, with holdings in the Niederhausen, Oberhausen, Norheim and Schlossböckelheim. They are planted exclusively with Riesling and the vineyards are mainly on volcanic soils. This wine is from the Leistenberg vineyard in the village of Oberhäus where the Dönnhoff estate is based and has a very slatey soil. GRAPE VARIETIES 100% Reisling VINIFICATION Winemaking at Dönnhoff is straightforward and low intervention. The grapes are whole bunch pressed and then the juice is settled for up to 18 hours before fermentation in either cask or stainless steel. The fermentation temperature is maintained at about 25-30 °C. Wines fermented in wooden casks typically spend 2-3 months in cask and are then transferred to stainless steel. The wine spends 1 month on gross lees and 3 months on fine lees before being filtered and bottled. TASTING NOTE This is a very refined wine, both on the nose and palate. The nose has a lovely lime and pear character with some floral undertones. On the palate, the rich fruit dominates, but there's a supporting minerality that brings the whole thing together with a long and fresh finish.
