There’s no better way to roll into the holiday season than to offer three bar-raising Rieslings from the master, Cornelius Dönnhoff. He continues to craft Rieslings with the greatest level of balance possible. Year in and year out, Dönnhoff single-site Rieslings are strikingly precise, never homogenous, and always a crystal clear expression of site and vintage. 

Over the years, the prestige and desirability of Dönnhoff has skyrocketed to the point where they rank as the top producer of their region and are constantly vying for the undisputed Riesling Champion of the world. 

Norheimer Kirschheck is one of the oldest recorded vineyards in the Nahe. Kirsche means “cherry,” and the old name suggests that wild cherries grew in the vineyards.  It’s a steep south-facing site with weathered gray slate and sandstone soils. Fermentation and Élevage are done in a combination of stainless steel and large, used barrels.

The palate brings immense charm to the veil-like lightness. This is all delicacy and elegance, scented with tangerine. It's beautifully restrained and so fresh.
