Niederhäuser Klamm Riesling Kabinett 2020 - Weingut Dönnhoff

The Niederhäuser Klamm Riesling Kabinett 2020 from Weingut Dönnhoff is an iconic German white wine, produced from an exceptional terroir and with careful winemaking.

The Klamm vineyard is located in Niederhausen, on the steep banks of the Nahe River, near the renowned Hermannshöhle vineyard. The name "Klamm" refers to a deep cut in the rock , reflecting the rugged, mineral nature of the site. The vines, ranging from 20 to 70 years old, grow in volcanic soils (porphyry, melaphyre) on steep slopes, providing ideal conditions for optimal grape ripening. The harvest is carried out by hand , with yields deliberately limited to ensure exceptional quality.

The nose is clear, pure, and refined , marked by aromas of tropical fruits (passion fruit), citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit), and mineral and smoky notes (gunflint, fresh spices). A touch of white flowers and white fruits (pear, peach) completes this complex and elegant aromatic profile.

The attack is juicy and lively , with a balanced acidity that brings freshness and vibrancy. Flavors of peach, lemon, and tropical fruit dominate, supported by a crystalline minerality and a slight residual sweetness typical of the Kabinett style.

The finish is long, tasty and stimulating , with a mineral tension that invites another sip.
