Dönnhoff needs no introduction for Riesling lovers—Helmut and Cornelius Dönnhoff have built their family estate into one of the most respected in all of Germany. Their Tonschiefer Trocken bottling (literally “clay slate”) is sourced primarily from the famed Leistenberg vineyard in the lower Nahe, where grey slate soils bring an unmistakable smoky minerality to Riesling’s vivid fruit and florals.

The 2023 vintage delivers incredible clarity: aromas of white peach, lime blossom, and green apple leap from the glass, underscored by a stony, slightly smoky core. The palate is sharply defined—dry, racy, and vibrating with energy—yet there’s always a quiet depth beneath the surface, a signature of Dönnhoff's gentle hand in both vineyard and cellar.

It’s a Riesling that perfectly straddles tension and charm, ready to refresh today but structured enough to reward a few years in the cellar.

Pair with: sushi, Thai green curry, goat cheese salads, or simply a sunny afternoon.

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.

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!
