James Suckling - 100 points

2024

Dönnhoff Hermannshöhle Riesling Grosses Gewächs (GG) is a distinguished dry white wine from the Nahe region in Germany. Sourced from the esteemed Hermannshöhle vineyard, renowned for its mineral-rich soils comprising black-grey slate, volcanic rocks, porphyry, and limestone elements, this wine reflects the vineyard's exceptional terroir.


The vines, some up to 75 years old, thrive on these steep south-facing slopes, contributing to the wine's depth and complexity. The 2023 vintage exhibits a clear, intense bouquet with concentrated Riesling fruit, leading to a palate that is both powerful and elegant.


Notable for its saline notes derived from the clay-slate soils, the wine offers a crystalline character with refreshing minerality. Aging on full lees for at least six months, followed by an additional two months on fine lees in large oak barrels, enhances its longevity and depth.
