Description

If you can’t get to the spa gardens of the Nahe town of Bad Kreuznach to breathe in the salt-laden air emanating from its graduation walls, the fragrance of the Tonschiefer comes quite close to the real thing. If you still think minerality can’t be smelt, the Tonschiefer may be able to convince you otherwise. Vibrant, appealingly fruity nose.

Weingut Donnhoff

Weingut Dönnhoff cultivate ten great sites which are among the best in the Nahe region. Cornelius Dönnhoff took over the reins from his father, the esteemed Helmut Dönnhoff, in 2007. Cornelius returned to assume responsibility for the estate - initially for the vineyard and cellar, and now for all aspects of the operation. With its nine Große Lagen, counted among the absolute finest in the region, the estate today enjoys an excellent international reputation for its grand German Rieslings.

Nahe

Nahe is particularly renowned for its Riesling, which displays a perfect balance of vibrant acidity, minerality, and expressive fruit flavours, often with notes of peach, apricot, and citrus. The area also produces excellent Silvaner, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Gris. With its combination of stunning landscapes, varied terroirs, and commitment to quality, Nahe offers a rich and rewarding wine experience for enthusiasts seeking distinctive and elegant German wines.
