| Tasted by Ali on 8/18/2009 & rated 92 points: another beautifully balanced wine by Donnhoff (281 views) | |
| Tasted by rexmerlot on 5/4/2009 & rated 88 points: Light color. Floral and peach to the nose. Lemon and mineral on the palate. Nice long finish. A nice dry wine. (378 views) | |
| Tasted by rmodak on 1/18/2008 & rated 92 points: The first impression on the nose was honeysuckle and lilacs. This leads into a focused beam of peach and slate with lemony acidity on the finish. Throughout the laser sharp mouthfeel was an underlying limestone. This is an extremely dry young wine, but really showing off its balance of fruit, mineral and acid. (812 views) |

As a help to those who purchase and cellar these wines, let it be noted that the 'Goldkapsule' does not designate a higher quality bottling from the producer Dönnhoff. Herr Dönnhoff uses gold capsules on all bottlings of certain richer wines from the vineyards Oberhauser Brücke and Niederhauser Hermannshöhle and perhaps some others. Therefore it is unneccessary and misleading to use the term 'Goldkapsule' with Dönnhoff wines, currently.
Definition of "white wine" at Epicurious.com Varietal character (Appellation America) | A short history of Riesling (Uncork) | Riesling (wikipedia) Wines of Germany | The Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates (VDP) | How to read a German wine label An 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. |
