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.
Weingut Dönnhoff is a renowned family-owned winery located in Oberhausen an der Nahe, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The Dönnhoff family has been producing wine in the Nahe region since 1750, cultivating a deep-rooted tradition of winemaking excellence.
