The 2024 Dönnhoff Hermannshöhle GG Riesling is a benchmark dry Riesling from the Nahe’s highly regarded Hermannshöhle vineyard. The nose is intense and precise, showing ripe citrus, lemon oil and candied orange peel with kumquat, crushed stone and distinctive slate-driven mineral notes.
On the palate, it is dry and concentrated with crisp acidity, fine texture and remarkable mineral depth. Citrus fruit and lemon bitters are joined by a pronounced saline character, leading to a long, tightly structured finish. Extended lees maturation adds depth while preserving the wine’s crystalline freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Riesling collectors and drinkers who enjoy serious, dry German whites with high acidity, saline minerality and excellent ageing potential. Enjoy with grilled snapper, roast pork, seafood, roast chicken or herb-based dishes, or cellar well into the 2030s for further development.
