The 2022 Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Auslese is a remarkable sweet Riesling from one of Germany’s most revered vineyard sites in the Nahe region. Produced by the renowned Dönnhoff estate, this wine comes from the steep, mineral-rich slopes of Hermannshöhle, a vineyard celebrated for producing Rieslings of exceptional purity, elegance and longevity.
On the palate, layers of ripe apricot, peach, mandarin and candied citrus are supported by vibrant acidity and a striking mineral backbone. Despite its richness and concentration, the wine remains remarkably precise and balanced, with notes of citrus, floral honey and slate carrying through a long, refined finish. The combination of luscious fruit and crystalline freshness is a hallmark of this outstanding vineyard.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional choice for customers seeking a world-class Auslese with both richness and finesse. While already captivating in its youth, it has the structure to evolve beautifully over the next 20–30 years. Pairs wonderfully with blue cheese, foie gras, fruit-based desserts and spicy Asian cuisine.
