Dönnhoff Schlossböckelheimer Felsenberg Spätlese Trocken 2003, from Germany’s Nahe, is a 100% Riesling from the steep Felsenberg vineyard’s volcanic rhyolite soils. The nose offers an evolved bouquet of honeyed peach, candied lemon, and ripe apricot, layered with wet slate and a subtle petrol note. The palate is medium-bodied, bone-dry with crisp acidity, delivering flavors of stone fruit, citrus, and a pronounced mineral core, with a smooth, lingering finish. Aged in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak, it reflects Dönnhoff’s expertise in terroir-driven winemaking. The 2003 vintage, known for its ripeness, produced a wine of remarkable depth, ideal for pairing with robust fish dishes, light salads, or aged cheeses. Its evolved flavor profile and structured elegance make it a collector’s gem, showcasing Felsenberg’s unique terroir. With moderate aging potential, this Spätlese Trocken offers enthusiasts a sophisticated expression of Nahe’s volcanic viticulture.
