From the Nahe, Dönnhoff’s Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Spätlese captures the grandeur of one of Germany’s most legendary sites. The steep volcanic soils of Hermannshöhle yield Rieslings of depth and power, and in 2024, the wine shines with remarkable clarity and structure. Helmut Dönnhoff and family have built this estate into a benchmark, crafting wines that age gracefully for decades while remaining utterly captivating in youth.
99 Points, James Suckling:
“This is one of the wines of the vintage in the Nahe. That starts an explosive nose of Amalfi lemons, white and yellow peaches, lychees and kiwis. Incredible concentration and vibrancy on the tightly focused, medium-bodied palate. A spring-like lightness is married to awesome density, the two so tightly wound that they’re inseparable through the almost endless finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.” - Stuart Pigott
