54
Q

Helmut Dönnhoff: vinification style

A

Helmut Dönnhoff believes that Riesling loves suffering and that the Nahe is a perfect place for the grape because the region is almost desert-like, with poor soil and minimal rainfall. In addition, he attributes the high acidity in his grapes to the Nahe’s great diurnal temperature shifts. According to Dönnhoff, in the Nahe “we never speak of Riesling, we just name the sites.”[1] In essence, then, he considers his wine not a “Riesling” but a “Hermannshöhle GG,” for example. Dönnhoff picks late, from the middle of October into late November (his Eiswein is picked in December), and grapes are always hand-harvested. Helmut allows up to 5% of botrytized grapes into his dry wines, and he does three tries during harvest. The dry wines are aged in a mixture of stainless steel and stück or doppelstück; the Eiswein and Auslese only see stainless steel. Since the 2009 vintage, sweetness levels in all of Dönnhoff’s wines have decreased, making them today more reminiscent of the wines from the early 1990s.

55
Q

What single-vineyard wines does Dönnhoff produce?

A

Norheimer Dellchen Riesling GG
