WINE DESCRIPTION

Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Spätlese is a premium wine produced by the renowned German winemaker Dönnhoff. The grapes are sourced from the Hermannshöhle vineyard in the Niederhäuser appellation, known for its steep slopes and slate soils that impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the ripest grapes, gentle pressing, and slow fermentation to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the Riesling grape. The resulting wine is a Spätlese, meaning it is made from late-harvested grapes, and has a rich, complex character with notes of ripe peach, apricot, and honey, balanced by a refreshing acidity. This wine is a perfect example of the high-quality, terroir-driven wines that Dönnhoff is known for.
