The 2022 Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Brücke Spätlese is a benchmark Nahe Riesling from one of Germany’s most celebrated producers. Sourced from the tiny Oberhäuser Brücke vineyard, a monopole site owned exclusively by Dönnhoff, this Spätlese benefits from a unique riverside microclimate that promotes long, slow ripening and exceptional balance between fruit concentration and freshness.
On the palate, flavours of apricot, mandarin, white peach and lime are layered with subtle floral notes and a distinctive wet stone minerality. Delicate sweetness is beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity, creating a wine that feels precise, energetic and remarkably elegant. The finish is long, refined and intensely focused, showcasing the purity and finesse for which the Oberhäuser Brücke vineyard is renowned.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for customers who enjoy classic German Spätlese with depth, precision and exceptional aging potential. While already captivating in its youth, it will continue to evolve beautifully over the next 15–25 years. Pairs wonderfully with spicy Asian cuisine, roast pork, duck dishes, soft cheeses and fruit-based desserts.
