Monopole site for Weingut Hermann Donnhoff. A distinctive microclimate is created, protecting the vines and promoting early flowering each year, which translates into a long growing season for the late-ripening Riesling grape. The special soil composition, consisting of grey slate bedrock covered by a layer of loess loam, ensures an adequate water supply for the vines even during drought years. These conditions and ancient geology give rise to distinctive and elegant Riesling wines of great structure and concentration. This is a traditional Spatlese with luscious, layered aromas and a gorgeous balance of lush natural sweetness and a finely spirited acidity.
