Variety: Riesling Region: Nahe Vineyard: Mostly from Oberhäuser Felsenberg and Kieselberg Soil Type: Stony, weathered volcanic soils of porphyry and melaphyr, with slate and quartzite Fermentation & Élevage: A mixture of stainless steel vats and neutral 10+-year-old 1200L German stückfass from Hösch
The idea here is to make a village wine, basically, though it’s sold and marketed as a Gutswein or Estate bottled basic wine. The Estate wine combines the two major soils that dominate the holdings for the estate, giving the drinker a look into what Dönnhoff is all about. The basic wine is a calling card and thus Cornelius wants to make statement.
The geology of the middle Nahe is notably shaped by its eons-old clay slate formations and rich volcanic soils. The concentration of porphyry and melaphyre stone in and around the old Oberhausen vineyards – Kieselberg and Felsenberg, help provide the perfect berry base for Gutsriesling.
The 2023 Riesling Oberhäuser Leistenberg Kabinett is from a southeast-facing site of shale, getting the morning sun; this is never aected
by botrytis and is shaded in the afternoon, so a late harvest is possible
because botrytis never occurs, and acids ...
What a juicy and animating light Mosel Kabinett with lime zest and mint character, plus good yellow and green apple fruit. Long, super-clean finish. And the total impression is of a wine that’s barely off-dry. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
The Dry Creek Valley is an undiscovered gem, producing some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon in California. Primarily known for Zinfandel, the valley has almost as much Cabernet Sauvignon planted. This lush and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon initially displays aromas of plum, blackberry and cranberry, followed by bay leaf, sage and white pepper. A first taste of the full-bodied wine reveals flavors of black currant and black cherry. Hints of herbes de Provence, mocha and fine leather bolster its richness, while firm tannins provide structure. The plush palate and well-rounded mouthfeel make this Cabernet approachable in its youth while also perfect for aging.
