WINE DESCRIPTION
Dönnhoff Weissburgunder S is a steely, dry white white wine produced by the highly regarded Dönnhoff estate. The grapes are sourced from sloping vineyards located in the middle Nahe region. The Weissburgunder, known more commonly as Pinot Blanc, tends to give simple wines with notes of citrus and orchard fruit, however Dönnhoff create a powerfully mineral-driven and judiciously oaked expression due to fermentation and maturation in large, new oak barrels.
