Crafted from Riesling vines grown on dark grey slate soils, this wine radiates sophistication.
The Tonschiefer Riesling is sourced primarily from the upper slopes of Oberhäuser Leistenberg, just a stone’s throw from the Dönnhoff family estate. Here, 25- to 45-year-old vines thrive in steep, slate-rich soils. Grapes are meticulously handpicked and gently pressed before fermenting and maturing in a mix of stainless steel tanks and large oak casks. This traditional yet precise approach ensures the wine retains its vibrant fruit character and hallmark slate-derived minerality.
A perfect choice for Riesling aficionados and newcomers alike, this bottle brings the Nahe Valley’s distinctive terroir to life.
Tasting Note: Pure elegance in a glass, the 2023 Dönnhoff Tonschiefer Dry Slate Riesling is a masterclass in balance and finesse. Its vibrant citrus notes are complemented by a lively minerality, with whispers of green apple and a racy acidity that keeps the palate refreshed.
