Dönnhoff Hermannshöhle Riesling GG 2023
HK$ 663.98
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2023 Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling trocken GG opens deep, pure, intense and stony on the nose that is, to be honest, much more sophisticated than the Brücke GG. The wine is finely juicy as well as savory on the palate, probably not bone dry in terms of analysis but always in tension and never settling on the palate, as if it was just an idea of Riesling and not its materialization. This Hermannshöhle is not a cave (which it is only named after) but a bright Riesling ray to the heavens, a lasting flash of lightning from a thunderstorm that cannot be disliked or remain undrunk, even today. If you need a salty and spicy yet always seductively round palate-tickler now, please go ahead. But those who like to let the wine mature will not lose out. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in August and October 2024.

Winemaking
Description
The Weingut Dönnhoff winery has a rich history dating back to 1761. Over the years, it has maintained its commitment to producing high quality Rieslings, and the Dönnhoff Hermannshöhle Riesling GG wine is a testament to its expertise and dedication to the art of winemaking.
Winemaking
Hermannshöhle is a legendary location and has been the most valued in the Nahe region for over 100 years. Here, vines over 70 years old grow on a perfect south-facing slope with extremely mineral-rich soils derived from black-grey shale and volcanic elements. Production is limited to approximately 35 hl/ha and the harvest is 100% hand-picked in a selective manner. Fermentation and maturation of the wine takes place in stainless steel and traditional oak barrels. The result is a complex Riesling, of noble elegance, with an immense concentration of flavour and deep minerality. It is a dry, mysterious and aristocratic wine, combining power and elegance.
Taste
Dönnhoff Hermannshöhle Riesling GG stands out for its restrained beauty, with a peachy aroma that is difficult to describe but easy to appreciate. On the palate, this wine offers amazing concentration, but at the same time it is light and agile. The finish is sharp and bright, evoking the minerality of wet stones. It is a wine that invites a second sip, leaving a lasting impression of energy and dynamism.
