Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Auslese GK 2003, from Germany’s Nahe, is a 100% Riesling from the Hermannshöhle vineyard’s slate soils. The nose offers a concentrated bouquet of honeyed peach, candied lemon, and ripe apricot, interwoven with wet slate, petrol, and a hint of spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with pronounced residual sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity, delivering flavors of stone fruit, citrus, and a touch of caramel, with a rich, lingering finish. Aged in stainless steel and neutral oak, it reflects Dönnhoff’s artisanal precision. The 2003 vintage, known for its intensity, produced a wine of remarkable depth, ideal for pairing with fruit tarts, creamy desserts, or blue cheeses. Its concentrated flavor profile and vibrant finesse make it a collector’s gem, capturing the essence of Hermannshöhle’s iconic terroir. With exceptional aging potential, this Auslese Goldkapsel offers enthusiasts a sophisticated expression of Nahe’s winemaking heritage.
