Description from the seller
No Reserve Price! Weingut Dönnhoff Riesling Spätlese 2004 – Trio of Nahe Elegance
3 bottles | Direct from the Estate | OHMS Connoisseurs Choice | Professionally Cellared Since October 2005.
Three gems from a German icon – rare Nahe Spätlese from a stellar vintage. These three bottles of 2004 Riesling Spätlese from the legendary Weingut Dönnhoff are a radiant expression of the Nahe’s unique terroir. Imported directly from the estate and stored in a professional climate-controlled cellar since 2005, these wines are now at a perfect stage of maturity, offering a sublime balance of freshness, minerality, and gentle sweetness.
Estate Heritage:
Weingut Dönnhoff, located in Oberhausen on the Nahe, has been family-run for over 250 years. Under Helmut Dönnhoff, the estate rose to international acclaim for its uncompromising quality and terroir-driven Rieslings. A founding member of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter), Dönnhoff helped shape modern German wine culture and continues to set benchmarks for excellence. Robert Parker has called Helmut Dönnhoff a superstar, awarding multiple 100-point scores for Eisweins. Hugh Johnson praised the estate’s fanatical commitment to quality and natural talent.
Vineyard Classification and Terroir:
The wines in this trio come from top Nahe sites, including Oberhäuser Brücke and Schlossböckelheim Felsenberg, classified as VDP.Grosse Lage – Germany’s Grand Cru designation. These steep, rocky vineyards feature volcanic porphyry and slate soils, imparting intense minerality and vibrant acidity. Their unique microclimate ensures slow ripening, producing Rieslings of exceptional finesse and longevity.
Provenance:
Direct shipment from the estate to OHMS Connoisseurs Choice and stored under optimal conditions in a professional wine cellar since 2005.
Vintage Quality:
2004 was an excellent year for German Riesling. A warm spring and golden autumn allowed grapes to ripen slowly, preserving acidity and aromatic complexity. Spätlese wines from this vintage are celebrated for their freshness, balance, and aging potential.
Drinking Window:
Now through 2030+. These wines are at peak maturity, offering harmony of evolved fruit, minerality, and freshness, with further potential for graceful aging.
Tasting Profile:
Delicate sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity and a mineral backbone. Aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, and crushed slate. Notes of lime zest, honeyed apple, and wet stone linger on a long, elegant finish.
Critical Acclaim:
2004 Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Spätlese – 92 points CellarTracker
Medium-bodied with cool fruit profile, wild yeast character, and crystalline minerality.
