Dönnhoff Riesling Tonschiefer

Dry, black and gray slate forms the basis of this dry Riesling from the windery Dönnhoff in Rhineland-Palatinate. This full-bodied Riesling has a fine minerality, is wonderfully fruity and offers a wonderful acidity.

Especially the slopes of the vineyard called Leistenberg, located in a small valley of the Nahe near Oberhausen are marked by slate-soils. This is where most characterful Rieslings grow, which bear the name of the special soil.

The Tonschiefer Dönnhoff Riesling comes from vines that are between 25 and 30 years old. The grapes were harvested to 100% by hand. The wine was aged in stainless steel tanks and large oak casks, which explains the beautiful complexity of this white wine.

Weingut Hermann Dönnhoff

Das Weingut Hermann Dönnhoff liegt in der Gemeinde Oberhausen im deutschen Anbaugebiet Nahe, Rheinland-Pfalz. Das Gut hat eine lange Geschichte, denn Weinbau wird in der Familie seit zweihundert Jahren betrieben. Namensgeber Herrmann Dönnhoff Senior hatte eine große Leidenschaft für den Riesling und schenkte der Weinbereitung hohe Beachtung. Er investierte beim Kauf in beste Lagen in der Umgebung. Sein Sohn Hermann Dönnhoff Junior setzte diese Tradition fort, und als dessen Nachkomme Helmut Dönnhoff 1971 mit 22 Jahren seinen ersten Jahrgang vinifizierte, hatte sich der Betrieb schon als reines Weingut einen Namen gemacht.

Das Weingut Hermann Dönnhoff zählt heute zu den absoluten Spitzenwinzern Deutschlands. Die Weingärten umfassen 26 Hektar Rebfläche in den Einzellagen Kahlenberg, Krötenpfuhl, Mollenbrunnen und Osterhöll (Bad Kreuznach), Hermannshöhle (Niederhausen), Dellchen und Kirschheck (Norheim), Brücke im Alleinbesitz, Felsenberg, Kieselberg und Leistenberg (Oberhausen), sowie Felsenberg und Kupfergrube (Schloßböckelheim). Die Böden sind mit Grauschiefer, Porphyr und Melaphyr sowie Vulkanverwitterung durchsetzt und sind der Garant für außergewöhnliche Weine. Die Weinberge sind zu drei Vierteln mit Riesling, das restliche Viertel mit Grauburgunder und Weißburgunder bestockt.

Das Weingut Hermann Dönnhoff setzt auf die klassische Weinbereitung in alten Eichenholzfässern. Wie die Rieslingweine erlangten auch die Eisweine im In- und Ausland Kultstatus. Jährlich werden rund 150.000 Flaschen Wein produziert. Dönnhoff-Weine brillieren Jahr um Jahr mit Dichte, Raffinesse und Mineralität.
