Description

What kind of wine it is

The Oberhauser Brucke Monopol Riesling Spatlese is a sweet white wine by Dönnhoff. Made from Riesling grapes, this Spätlese reveals a rich aromatic layering: pear, yellow roses, orange blossom, and tropical nuances. On the palate, it offers an airy creaminess that envelops the sip without heaviness. Notes of lemon cream, white peach, vanilla, and caramel emerge, enlivened by lime and lychee. The structure is supported by a balance between fruity sweetness and lively acidic tension.

Where it comes from

The wine originates in Germany, in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer district, from the historic vines of the Oberhäuser Brücke monopole vineyard. The terroir is based on a bedrock of clay slate covered by loess, a geological combination enhanced by a microclimate ideal for late ripening. This environment imparts its distinctive mineral imprint to the glass, stony on the nose and almost metallic on the palate, allowing the grape variety to develop a noble natural sweetness with an elegant sense of place.

How it is produced

Production begins with a rigorous selective manual harvest in several passes, to pick the bunches at the ideal stage of ripening. The must undergoes a slow and prolonged fermentation, mostly spontaneous with indigenous yeasts, before maturing in stainless steel tanks. This process, which results in a vegan wine, is designed to preserve the clarity of the fruit and the vibrant minerality, making the wine perfect to accompany delicate fruit desserts and cheese selections.

History and Curiosities

The exclusive Riesling Spätlese 2024 from Dönnhoff originates from the renowned Oberhäuser Brücke vineyard, a true VDP Grosse Lage gem in the Moselle-Saar-Ruwer, held as a monopoly. The mature vines, rooted in clay slate and loess, benefit from an ideal climate to express a noble sweetness. Thanks to a rigorous selective manual harvest and slow spontaneous fermentation, an exceptionally refined vegan wine is created. Each sip reveals a magnificent aerial creaminess, capable of harmonising aromas of pear and rose with radiant minerality and fresh citrus notes.

Taste

On the palate it is warm and extremely soft, with an airy creaminess that is never heavy and a juice that is just slightly liqueur-like. Hints of lemon cream, white peach, vanilla and an early touch of caramel; a very fresh burst of lime, then sunnier notes of lychee. Minerality between metallic and stony, with a radiant and pronounced persistence, balanced between ripe fruity sweetness and fine, lively acidity.

From this winery
  • Hectares: 25
Living legend and world oenology German, Helmut Dönnhoff (brilliantly supported by his son Cornelius, who recently won in 2014 the prestigious prize awarded by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung for the best winemaker German) has been and continues to be above all one of the most forward-looking and inspired architects of 'rise of the Nahe to the rank of wine-growing region of stature equal to that of the most renowned and historical Rheingau and Mosel. A date on all perhaps helps to understand fully what the biography of Helmut and the recent history of the Nahe wine are intertwined, so nothing short of amazing, almost fated. Indeed, it was 1971 when the then twenty-two year Helmut, grandson of the founder Hermann, took over the reins of the small family business, deciding to oversee the winemaking; Coincidentally that same year was promulgated the law that still defines the quality system of German wines, and also inserted the Nahe between 13 "regional quality labels" (Anbaugebiet) Teutonic. Given this premise, of course the wines of his homeland could express a distinct identity to which the labeling of generic "Rhine wine" until then adopted by almost all the local producers did not do justice, Helmut began between 4 has a steep rows possessed a patient, silent, unapparent revolution. Member of VDP Weingut Dönnhoff now has about 25 hectares of vineyards, where in addition to riesling are placed pinot white and gray. The different microclimates, often very pronounced, like the slopes of the most prestigious Erste Lage (cru planted with riesling higher recognized tradition); the extraordinary variety of the mineral composition of the soil in which the vines, never irrigated despite the often droughty climate, are forced to become deeply rooted; high plant density and pruning that force the cluster to mature at the bottom, next to the stony soils, allowing them to benefit from the heat released during the night; surgical harvests, consisting of never less than 3 steps carried out in time also significant distance from each other; prolonged fermentation, very slow, mostly spontaneous, in which the addition of selected yeasts is limited, thanks to the choice of turning musts not perfectly clarified and therefore richer here is some of the practices that help to define the identity of every shimmering wine year of Dönnhoff, products in a range that goes from Trocken to rare Eiswein. Wines pure and graceful, the sidereal mineral precision, elegance quotes: so sharp, planes, rarefied the driest since opulent and contrasted the sweetest.
