  • The Oberhäuser Brücke vineyard — Dönnhoff’s tiny monopole on the banks of the Nahe — produces some of Germany’s most hauntingly beautiful Rieslings. Helmut and Cornelius Dönnhoff craft this Spätlese from hand-picked fruit, fermented slowly in large oak. The 2022 is a masterpiece of sugar / acid balance: lime, apricot and white flowers glide over crystalline acidity and delicate sweetness. A Riesling that feels weightless and has endless length.

  • "The 2022 Riesling Oberhäuser Brücke Spätlese is from a site that combines weathered shale, weathered sandstone and volcanic formations, "but essentially the vines root in Tonschiefer or shale," Helmut says. It is not a steep site; in the valley, cold air flows at night, and the days are hot. This has the biggest day-night amplitude and is close to the river. The nose is of confounding aromatic complexity: green elements of citrus, think lime jelly, citrus leaf. The palate has a tropical intensity that brings passion fruit, lime, mango and much more intense sweetness that is always cut with vivid acidity. The 2022 is wonderfully exciting, hair-raising, almost joyful, or, as Helmut calls it, "crazy." Simply wonderful." (Sweet) 95 points, Anne Krebiehl MW
