2021 Weingut Donnhoff Riesling Niederhauser Hermannshohle Spatlese Nahe Germany 750mL
type: Product
description: Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle is the undisputed crown jewel of the Nahe region, and Helmut and Cornelius Dönnhoff are its absolute masters. Standing on a steep, south-facing amphitheater of volcanic soil and dark slate along the Nahe River, this legendary site produces white wines of unrivaled depth, salinity, and mineral drive. If you are building a cellar of world-class white wines, securing a few bottles of Dönnhoff’s flagship Spätlese from the historic 2021 vintage is non-negotiable. The 2021 growing season offered a classic, cool-climate revival that required patience and precision. The Dönnhoff team harvested late into November, allowing the grapes to reach ideal physiological maturity while retaining remarkable natural acidity. In the cellar, Cornelius allowed the cool must to rest on the extract-rich skins before fermenting in traditional large stückfass oak casks. This gentle extraction naturally rounded out the high acidity, creating an unbelievable balance between weightless sweetness, tense minerality, and rich fruit concentration. In the glass, it uncoils with aromas of white peach, candied lemon peel, verbena, and wet flint. On the palate, a silky wave of nectarine and delicate honeyed sweetness is immediately countered by a laser beam of citrusy acidity and crushed-stone salinity that lingers long after your first sip. Long story short: if you've ever wondered what the fuss about high-end German Riesling was about, this bottle will show you. While top Grand Crus from Burgundy or Champagne command hundreds of dollars a bottle, this iconic German masterwork delivers equal precision and longevity for just 75 dollars. It's pretty tough to find a 99-point wine from anywhere at that price. Secure your bottles before this vintage sells out completely.
