The VDP auction sticker guarantees authenticity and underscores the wine’s elite status. Estate Heritage Founded in 1750, Weingut Dönnhoff is one of Germany’s most historic and celebrated estates. Located in Oberhausen on the Nahe, the estate has remained family-run for over 250 years. Under Helmut Dönnhoff, the winery achieved global acclaim, earning multiple 100-point scores and recognition as one of the world’s greatest Riesling producers. Today, Cornelius Dönnhoff continues this legacy of excellence. VDP Membership and Vineyard Classification Dönnhoff is a proud member of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter), Germany’s elite growers’ association. The Oberhäuser Brücke vineyard is classified as VDP.Grosse Lage, the highest designation for German vineyards, equivalent to Grand Cru. Its steep, slate-rich soils and proximity to the Nahe River create a unique microclimate that produces Rieslings of extraordinary depth, minerality, and longevity. Vintage Quality – 2007 The 2007 vintage is legendary for German Riesling. A long growing season with cool nights and sunny autumn days produced grapes of perfect ripeness, high extract, and vibrant acidity. Sweet wines from this year are considered among the finest of the decade, combining opulence with crystalline freshness and exceptional aging potential. Tasting Profile Intense aromas of honey, apricot, candied citrus, and exotic fruits, layered with smoky slate minerality and botrytis complexity. The palate is rich yet precise, balancing luscious sweetness with vibrant acidity. Notes of candied orange, mango, and wet stone linger on a long, luxurious finish. Drinking Window Now through 2045+.
