| Community Tasting Notes (average 86.6 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by jonr on 10/20/2023 & rated 85 points: Nydelig lukt av hvite treblomster. Litt asiatisk søt duft kanskje Orange melon.
Smak , frisk, syrlig litt bitter sitrus, væskende. Noe grønt gress, ganske lik Grasevina- stil fra Kroatia.
God balanse mellom syre og frukt. Lang "Gradevina ettersmak".
Passet veldig godt til panert smørflyndre, med fet remulade.
God vin ' drikkes nå. (107 views) | | | Tasted by Schiffy on 7/15/2023 & rated 89 points: Light with great minerality, this entry level dry riesling has flinty notes. Refreshing and balanced. (206 views) | | | Tasted by Neecies on 6/27/2023: Bob A's bottle. Pale greenish gold with mild fruit and straw. Served blind, initial guesses were Albarino and there was no obvious second choice. Pleasant but not a lot of character. (193 views) | | | Tasted by SuperSomm on 3/26/2023: Pale lemon colour. Medium (-) and youthful nose with green apples, lemon, limestone, wet stone and white flowers. Medium taste of green apples, lemon, limestone and wet stone. Medium long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium body. A very good Nahe Weißburgunder. Drink now or over the next couple of years. Goes well with fish or shellfish. (105 views) | | | Tasted by Anders Danielsen Lie on 3/4/2023 & rated 86 points: Ren og pregløs weissburgunder med lett smøraktig preg over gulgrønn frukt. Ok syre. Aller best til å koke blåskjell eller i saus (460 views) | | | Tasted by GuanYu on 2/16/2023 & rated 86 points: Light pale gold with green tint. Fresh, pear, peach and minerality. Fizzy sensation on the tongue due to dissolved carbon dioxide, typical of youthful German whites. Two dimensional and bland. (258 views) | | | Tasted by FjordogFjell on 1/20/2023 & rated 85 points: Smakt på vinmesse. Sødmefull lukt, klar, flott med tanke på pris 170,- (234 views) | | | Tasted by AudunG on 11/15/2022 & rated 85 points: Typical Weissburgunder / Pinot Blanc aromas with green apples, pears, lime and hay. Powerful on the palate, with the same fat mouth feeling as in an Alsace Pinot Blanc, with more acidity and freshness here, though. (268 views) | | | Tasted by 3daywinereview.com on 6/16/2022 & rated 89 points: Donnhoff Tasting (St. Paul): Nice dry style wine with straw, minerals and pear. Simple but satisfying. (1121 views) |

As a help to those who purchase and cellar these wines, let it be noted that the 'Goldkapsule' does not ofen designate a higher quality bottling from the producer Dönnhoff. Herr Dönnhoff uses gold capsules on about 99 percent of the l bottlings of certain richer wines from the vineyards Oberhauser Brücke and Niederhauser Hermannshöhle and perhaps some others. Therefore it is usually unneccessary and misleading to use the term 'Goldkapsule' with Dönnhoff wines, currently. Although, just to be confusing, David Bueker mentions that there may be one or two exceptions, especially in 2001 and 2003 vintages, where Donnhoff produced "white capsule" auslesen from the Leistenberg and Dellchen vineyards (later Dellchen auslesen have gone to the gold capsules - e.g. 2006). To have to list my notes on a Cellartracker page that has a non-necessary and meaningless 'gold capsule' designation is highly irritating for me, as I feel that if I list it correctly it won't even be picked up by a search.
Another example of the confusion above is with the frequent multiple bottlings of Eisweine from the Brücke vineyard. There were at least three bottlings in 1998 and three in 2002. They occur when prolonged cold snaps allow harvesting on successive days. Usually one of these is designated the 'regular' Eiswein and the best one is sent to the Auction. Each typically has a different style. They are informally referred to by the day of the week on which they were harvested. Thus in 1998 there was a 'Samstag' Eiswein, and one for 'Sonntag' and also 'Montag'. The last named is extremely powerful, and extremely expensive; it is the Auction lot.
It is STRONGLY URGED then that when referring to Dönnhoff wines one refers to the AP number If this terminology is not used, identity can be impossible to determine.

#2014 Vintage Notes:
2014 Vintage Report by Terry Theise
2014 Vintage Report by Wine Spectator
"My gut still tells me the Saar (and to some extent) the Ruwer are better overall in 2014 than the more storied areas of the Mosel proper, but those that spent the requisite time living in their middle-Mosel vineyards made some of the most electric and "feathery" Riesling in a long time (maybe the finest in 20 years - yes, it's true!)" - Jon Rimmerman (Of course only a very short historical memory would call the Saar and Ruwer less 'storied' than the middle Mosel - jht)NaheAn der Nahe erwarten den Besucher sanftes Grün, romantische Flusstäler und dramatische Felsformationen. Dazu gastfreundliche Winzer und ihre vielfältigen Weine.
2.000 Jahre Weinbautradition hat das Anbaugebiet an der Nahe und den Nebenflüssen Glan und Alsenz. Vor kalten Winden durch den hohen Hunsrück geschützt, schaffen milde Temperaturen und viel Sonnenschein ein hervorragendes Klima für den Weinbau in dem regenarmen und sonnigen Tal. Hier wachsen auf rund 4.000 Hektar Rebsorten wie Riesling, Rivaner, und Silvaner. Auch die Spielarten des Burgunders sowie Kerner, Scheurebe, Portugieser und Dornfelder sind hier zu Hause. Lieblingskind der Winzer ist der an Finessen reiche Riesling, ein Viertel der Rebfläche ist damit bestockt.
Eine bewegte Erdgeschichte hat der Nahe-Region eine große Bodenvielfalt beschert. Die Reben wachsen auf Schiefergestein, vulkanischen Porphyr- oder Löss- und Lehmböden. Das ermöglicht eine Vielfalt an Rebsorten und Weinstilen.
