This lot is distinguished by its impeccable provenance, having been purchased directly from the estate in May 2005 and stored ever since under optimal, professional cellar conditions by OHMS Connoisseur's Choice. This direct-from-winery sourcing guarantees authenticity and perfect handling.

The Producer: Weingut Hermann Dönnhoff
The Dönnhoff family has been farming in the Nahe since 1761, establishing a reputation for German excellence over the last century. Dönnhoff is regarded as a benchmark producer, celebrated for expressing the unique minerality of the Nahe's diverse soils.

VDP Membership: Dönnhoff is a proud member of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter), Germany's exclusive association of around 200 elite producers. The VDP’s strict quality standards—focusing on low yields, sustainable practices, and classification by terroir—guarantee the highest level of craftsmanship, symbolized by the VDP Eagle on the capsule. The estate is globally recognized, notably holding multiple 100-point scores from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate for its most profound Riesling wines, a testament to the absolute commitment to quality across their entire range.
