Monopole site for Weingut Hermann Dönnhoff – the historic Luitpoldbrücke (Luitpold Bridge), built during the period of Royal Bavarian administration, crosses the Nahe River directly adjacent to the village of Oberhausen. Opposite that bridge lies a small vineyard parcel that benefits greatly from the nearby river’s moderating influence. A distinctive microclimate is created, protecting the vines and promoting early flowering each year, which translates into a long growing season for the late-ripening Riesling grape. The special soil composition, consisting of grey slate bedrock covered by a layer of loess loam, ensures an adequate water supply for the vines even during drought years. These conditions and ancient geology give rise to distinctive and elegant Riesling wines of great structure and concentration.The sheltered valley location is also a perfect stage for grapes to freeze on the vine in cold weather, the necessary precondition for luscious ice wines.These unusual conditions are the reason why this vineyard parcel, though measuring just 1.1 ha, is registered as one of the smallest protected sites on the Nahe.
The Donnhoff Oberhauser Brucke Riesling Eiswein 2012 is a highly regarded dessert wine known for its rich sweetness and complex flavors, typically featuring notes of stone fruits and honey. It is made from grapes that are frozen on the vine, resulting in a concentrated and luscious wine.
This wine pairs well with desserts such as Poire Williams ice cream and blue cheeses. Its sweetness complements rich flavours, making it an excellent choice for sweet and creamy dishes.
- If you wish to try the rarest of the rare.
The ultimate gift for a true enthusiast — a bottle that shows you understand their passion and will be genuinely appreciated and enjoyed.
