Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Brücke Spätlese 2004, from Germany’s Nahe, is a 100% Riesling from the Oberhäuser Brücke vineyard’s slate soils. The bouquet unveils an evolved array of honeyed peach, candied lemon, and ripe apricot, layered with wet slate and a hint of petrol. The palate is medium-bodied, with a touch of residual sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity, delivering flavors of stone fruit, citrus, and a touch of spice, with a smooth, lingering finish. Aged in stainless steel and neutral oak, it reflects Dönnhoff’s artisanal precision. The 2004 vintage, known for its balance, produced a wine of remarkable depth, ideal for pairing with spicy Asian dishes, fruit desserts, or blue cheeses. Its nuanced flavor profile and evolved finesse make it a collector’s gem, showcasing Brücke’s iconic terroir. With excellent aging potential, this Spätlese offers enthusiasts a sophisticated expression of Nahe’s winemaking heritage.
