Some vineyards are good at everything. Oberhäuser Brücke is great at one thing in particular, and that's lightly sweet Spätlese with acidity that bites back. It's the Dönnhoff family's monopole, a small parcel of ancient clay slate under loess loam lying right on the Nahe at Oberhausen. Down on the valley floor, cool air flows in at night and the days stay less warm than on the steep slopes above, so the grapes ripen slowly and hold on to their natural, piquant acidity. In 2025 the Spätlese was picked by hand on the same day as the estate's Grosses Gewächs and Auslese Goldkapsel from this site, which tells you it wasn't an afterthought. The grapes were picked selectively with no botrytis, pressed gently, and the wine was made in 1,250-litre stainless-steel tanks chosen to keep that razor-sharp acidity intact. Cornelius Dönnhoff now runs the estate with his father Helmut, the man who made it great. At just 8% alcohol, this is the kind of Riesling the Dönnhoffs call a classic Spätlese. Wines from the Brücke age very well, so drink one now and put another in the cellar.

More about Donnhoff

If you love Riesling, you know the name Dönnhoff. If you don't love Riesling-- yet-- Dönnhoff will teach you why the grape inspires such passion.

Dönnhoff is the greatest estate in the Nahe and one of the best in all of Germany. The family has had four generations to dive deep into their terroir and perfect their winemaking. Their top wines are long-lived and collectible.

That terroir is, of course, key. The Nahe has the most varied soils (including, especially, different kinds of volcanic soil) of any German region, as well as a climate that ranges from very cold high-elevation sites to pockets of Mediterranean warmth. This gives Dönnhoff a painter’s palette of flavors and textures from which to craft a perfect wine.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Thai green papaya salad, Sichuan twice-cooked pork, Vietnamese caramel pork belly, crab rangoon, smoked trout with horseradish cream, roast pork loin with apples, or a slice of foie gras terrine.

Tasting Profile

Rich, layered aromas with subtle flinty notes. Lightly sweet and medium-bodied, with the ripe fruit balanced by fine, lively acidity. The palate is precise and mineral, and the acidity gives it a piquant edge. Low alcohol (8%) keeps it light on its feet.

WINE GUIDES

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!
