“The NAHE seems to have drawn the winning number in 2013; everyone made excellent. They were just KICK-ASS WINES through and through, though of course they show the torn-silk textures and prominent acids of the vintage.” Terry Theise (Riesling autorité)

Kudos to the Dönnhoff family for their brilliant success in this vintage! All of the 2013 ers from Weingut Dönnhoff have acids over eight grams per liter, and often the dry bottlings are also quite low in residual sugar, as the very high dry extract here this year has served to buffer the acidity very, very well.
Helmut Dönnhoff
Because of the short yields, all of the production from the Türmchen section of the Felsenberg went into the Grosses Gewächs this year. Gilman Weingut Dönnhoff

TROCKEN - SEC Weingut Dönnhoff
Prix hors TVA
Riesling Trocken, Qualitätswein
75310
2013
€ 11,08
Prix TVA incluse
€ 13,41
Commentaire: This is a lovely wine. The very pretty nose delivers a mix of white cherries, pears, a dollop of wild yeasts and a lovely base of quartzite minerality. On the palate the wine is medium-full, crisp and nicely driven by its minerality, with fine focus and very good cut and grip on the impressively long finish. This was fermented in old fuders to round out its acidity this year, and the technique seems to have worked beautifully. 2014-2020+? 87+

Riesling Trocken, Tonschiefer
75311
2013
€ 14,38
€ 17,40
Commentaire: Ninety percent of the fruit for the Tonschiefer bottling hails from the Leistenberg vineyard. The bouquet on the 2013 Tonschiefer is very expressive out of the blocks, offering up scents of cherry blossoms, apple, pear, a lovely base of slate and a gentle topnote of petrol. On the palate the wine is medium-full, crisp and very snappy this year, with again, a lovely base of minerality, great focus and cut and a very long, youthful and snappy finish. This will need a year to blossom, but should be a superb vintage for this bottling. 2015-2025+. 88

Commentaire: The 2013 Höllenpfad Trocken has only 2.3 grams per liter of residual sugar, acids over eight grams per liter, and yet comes across as perfectly buffered and balanced. On the palate the wine is pure, fullish and a bit broader-shouldered in style than the lovely Kahlenberg, with a fine core and excellent focus, length and grip on the perfectly balanced and vibrant finish. A beautiful wine in the making. 2014-2035. 91

Commentaire: The 2013 Estate Riesling QbA is a Feinherb, but this will not appear on the label. The wine is really very lovely in 2013, offering up a fairly complex nose of white cherries, pears, wild yeasts, a touch of the petrol to come and a lovely base of slate minerality. On the palate the wine is medium-full, crisp and juicy, with a nice core of fruit, bright acids and fine focus and grip on the long and wide open finish. Fine juice. 2014-2020+? 88

Riesling, Oberhäuser Leistenberg, Kabinett
2013
€ 14,38
€ 17,40
Commentaire: The 2013 vintage has produced the most brilliant Leistenberg Kabinett from the Dönnhoffs since the brilliant 2007, and this likely to be destined to be one of the greatest vintages ever for this lovely bottling. The simply stunning bouquet soars from the glass in a vibrant blend of apple blossoms, white cherries, a touch of tangerine, a gloriously complex base of slate and a topnote of citrus zest. On the palate the wine is mediumfull, crisp and filigreed, with lovely intensity of flavor, superb complexity, snappy acids and great bounce, cut and grip on the very, very long and dancing finish. An utterly stunning young Kabinett. 2014- 2040. 95

Riesling Spätlese Norheimer Kirschheck

€ 21,00
Prix TVA incluse
€ 25,41
Commentaire: The 2013 Kirschheck Spätlese is the fiftieth anniversary for these vines, and the wine has turned out beautifully this year, with the typically ethereal personality of this bottling very much to the fore. On the palate the wine is medium-full, bright, pure and focused, with good depth in the mid-palate, lovely filigree and a long, focused and dancing finish. Tout en finesse. 2014-2035+. 92+

Monopol Spätlese
Commentaire: The 2013 Dönnhoff Brücke Spätlese is pure magic in the making. The brilliantly complex nose soars from the glass in a blaze of pears, white cherries, pink grapefruit, clementines, stunningly complex minerality, perhaps a whisper of petrol, bee pollen and spring flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and beautifully reserved in profile, with a great core, stunning filigree, racy acids, laser-like focus and simply stunning length and grip on the electric finish. This is the best vintage of Brücke Spätlese since the twin gems of 2011 and 2007. Really a beautiful wine in the making. 2018-2040. 96+

Auslese Goldkapsel (0,375 CL) À PARTIR DE OCTOBRE 2014
Commentaire: The 2013 Brücke Auslese from the Dönnhoff family is also a very refined example of clean botrytis and perfectly ripe fruit. The wine soars from the glass in a glazed mélange of pineapple, apple, bee pollen, lovely minerality, clementines, just a whisper of wild yeasts and a topnote of lemon blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and racy, with a rock solid core, racy acids, laser-like focus and a very long, precise and scintillating finish. 2019- 2065+. 95

Riesling Dellchen Großes Gewächs À PARTIR DE OCTOBRE 2014
Commentaire: The 2013 Dellchen Grosses Gewächs from the Dönnhoffs is outstanding this year, wafting from the glass in a deep, complex and very classy aromatic mix of apple, grapefruit, iris blossoms, wild yeasts, a beautiful base of slate, incipient notes of petrol and citrus peel. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very suave on the attack, with an excellent core of fruit, exquisite focus and balance and a very, very long, snappy and refined finish. Stellar. 2020-2060. 94+

Riesling Hermannshöhle, Großes Gewächs
2013
€ 39,95
€ 48,34
À PARTIR DE OCTOBRE 2014
Commentaire: The 2013 Grosses Gewächs from the Hermannshöhle is an absolutely brilliant young wine and one of the strongest vintages in recent times for this superb bottling ( and there have been some stunning vintages of
this wine over the last half decade! ) and an absolute must have for lovers of dry Riesling. The superb bouquet offers up scents of pink grapefruit, white cherries, petrol, a touch of wild yeasts, tart orange, dried flowers, a brilliant base of slate and lilac blossoms in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and utterly refined structurally, with a rock solid core, seamless balance and great cut and grip on the very, very long, laser-like focus. How great it will be down the road to compare the 2013 Hermannshöhle Grosses Gewächs with other recent great years here such as 2012, 2011, 2009 and 2007! This is an instant classic! 2020-2060. 96
