Monopole Spätlese from the Nahe's most prestigious estate. Oberhauser Brücke is just 1.1 hectares beside the Luitpold Bridge—the Nahe River's moderating influence creates a distinctive microclimate for Riesling. Grey slate bedrock with loess loam topsoil. The Dönnhoff family has grown grapes here for 250+ years (first documented 1761). Helmut Dönnhoff built the modern estate from 4 hectares in 1966; son Cornelius joined in 2007. Spontaneous fermentation, native yeasts, aged in large oak or stainless steel. VDP member, Fair'n'Green certified. The 2007 has aged magnificently.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93

"Subtle aromas of lichee, lemon oil and smoked pine nuts. Rich tropical fruits with a hint of smoke and an intriguing piquancy on the palate. A subtle acidity gives the sweet, spicy finish a rather feminine aspect. Very nicely balanced." -Joel B. Payne

Robert Parker

RP 94

"Lemon, grapefruit, red raspberry and persimmon rise from the glass of 2007 Oberhauser Brucke Riesling Spatlese, whose palate dynamics seem like chamber music after the thundering, orchestral Kupfergrube. Saline and wet stone mineral notes as well as deep, malty, nut oil richness compliment the berry and citrus and the finish here is simply ravishingly intricate. Look for 20 or more years of fascination." -David Schildknecht

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
