The 2018 Dönnhoff Riesling Brut Nature is a finely crafted sparkling Riesling from Germany’s Nahe region, produced by the renowned Dönnhoff estate. Made exclusively from hand-harvested Riesling and matured for an extended period on lees before disgorgement, this traditional-method sparkling wine showcases the precision, purity and mineral character for which Dönnhoff is internationally respected.
On the palate, vibrant acidity and fine, persistent bubbles carry flavours of lime zest, crisp peach, citrus blossom and subtle apricot. The wine is bone dry with zero dosage, allowing its mineral structure and freshness to take centre stage. Extended lees ageing adds texture and complexity, while the finish is long, focused and elegantly dry.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for customers who enjoy premium traditional-method sparkling wines with precision and freshness. Its dry, mineral-driven style makes it ideal as an aperitif or alongside oysters, sashimi, fresh seafood and light poultry dishes. Enjoy now for its vibrant energy or cellar over the next 5–8 years as additional complexity develops.
