We offer eighteen in-stock Donnhoff Grosses Gewächs options on sale now, including:
“Rich intense spices interwoven with a lithe and lively grace, atop a foundation of stunning depth and charisma.” -Donnhoff on Dellchen GGs
Weingut Donnhoff Dellchen Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Nahe 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $95, that’s $90.25 at 5% off and $85.50 at 10% off, 23 bottles in stock now

Stuart Pigott-James Suckling 98 points “What an exquisite stone fruit nose this super-fine and filigree dry riesling has! Yes, it is also very concentrated, but this and the power are completely underplayed. The result is an almost weightless palate that hangs like a white cloud in the still air. Extraordinary purity and precision at the almost endless finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair’n Green certification. Drink or hold.”
Weingut Donnhoff Dellchen Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Nahe 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $104.50, that’s $99.28 at 5% off and $94.05 at 10% off, 10 bottles in stock now

Stuart Pigott-James Suckling 100 points “This dry riesling has a hypnotic beauty that leaves no doubt how this wine redefines what peachy means in the context of this grape variety. As it aerates, a wealth of wild berry and flower nuances develop and expand. Given the mind-bending concentration of this wine, it is staggeringly fresh and absolutely precise. Then comes the finish, which is like a prima ballerina dancing on pointe off into the distance. Drink from release.”
“Stunning dry Riesling, exceptionally complex with a deep, smoky yet crystalline minerality – flint-laced and unmistakably Felsenberg!” -Donnhoff on Felsenberg GGs
Weingut Donnhoff Felsenberg Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Nahe 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $79, that’s $75.05 at 5% off and $71.10 at 10% off, 28 bottles in stock now

Stuart Pigott-James Suckling 95 points “Ripe and concentrated, but also quite austere with stacks of spice and grapefruit character; everything from the juice to the pith and zest! A seriously dry riesling, but with moderate acidity. Long crushed rock finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair’n Green certification. Drink or hold.”
Weingut Donnhoff Felsenberg Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Nahe 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $79, that’s $75.05 at 5% off and $71.10 at 10% off, 19 bottles in stock now
Weingut Donnhoff Felsenberg Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Nahe 2023 1.5L Displayed Price: $179, that’s $170.05 at 5% off and $161.10 at 10% off, 3 magnums in stock now

Anne Krebiehl MW-Vinous 96-98 points “The 2023 Riesling Schlossböckelheimer Felsenberg Felsentürmchen Grosses Gewächs is picked in the fully south-facing site of porphyry and melaphyr. Cornelius Dönnhoff says this is the most challenging site to work, simply because the stones are so hard and unforgiving, retaining almost no water. Thus, a year like 2023 was brilliant for this site. It is always the first GG site to be harvested because the rock retains heat from the day. Tender reduction still casts a flinty spell on the nose. Lovely savor implies crushed citrus foliage merged into iron oxide on the nose. The palate is taut, citric, bright with immense linearity, moving with absolute ease and direction, with energy and punch, towards a zesty, cool finish, long, sustained, all with savor and saltiness. The 2023 is a total joy of clarity, direction and stony poise. This is so elegant, so slender, so powerful, and no, this is not a contradiction. (Bone-dry).”
Weingut Donnhoff Hermannshohle Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Nahe 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $99, that’s $94.05 at 5% off and $89.10 at 10% off, 3 bottles in stock now
Weingut Donnhoff Hermannshohle Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Nahe 2022 1.5L Displayed Price: $228, that’s $216.60 at 5% off and $205.20 at 10% off, 1 magnum in stock now
Stuart Pigott-James Suckling 99 points “The restrained beauty of the peachiness in the nose is hard to describe, but easy to be overwhelmed by! On the compact palate this has staggering concentration yet still manages to be very light on its feet. The finish is blade-runner sharp, but the blade also flashes in the sun. Breathtaking drive and energy for the very warm and dry vintage. Then comes the remarkable wet-stone minerality and you can’t wait for the next sip. From organically grown grapes with Fair’n Green certification. Drink or hold.”
Weingut Donnhoff Hermannshohle Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Nahe 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $104.50, that’s $99.28 at 5% off and $94.05 at 10% off, 5 bottles in stock now
Weingut Donnhoff Hermannshohle Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Nahe 2023 6L Displayed Price: $1,099, that’s $1044.05 at 5% off and $989.10 at 10% off, 1 six-liter in stock now ***In-store pick up only, shipping not available for the six liter
Stuart Pigott-James Suckling 100 points “Incredibly refined and precise, yet with Grand Canyon-like depths and layers, this incredible dry riesling has a horizon-to-horizon spectrum of stone fruit, citrus and wild berry aromas, plus a touch of dusty hot soil as rain starts to fall on it. On the compact, medium-bodied palate, this side of the wine builds and builds to a giant crescendo in the almost endless finish. Drink or hold.”
“Dry Riesling with notably spicy fruit aromas balanced with a clear, crisp acidity. The vineyard’s red sandstone soil infuses the wine with a sprightly, almost peppery spice and characteristic fruitiness.” -Donnhoff on Höllenpfad GGs
Weingut Donnhoff Höllenpfad Im Muhlenberg Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Nahe 2018 750ml Displayed Price: $59, that’s $56.05 at 5% off and $53.10 at 10% off, 2 bottles in stock now
John Gilman-A View From the Cellar 93+ points “The Grosses Gewächs bottling from the filet section of the Höllenpfad im Mühlenberg is also very promising and again, shows the beautifully elegant refinement of all the dry Rieslings from the Dönnhoff family this year. Helmut estimates that this is thirteen percent octane or just under in this vintage. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a very refined and expressive blend of tangerine, blood orange, salty minerality, citrus peel, smoky overtones and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and really packed at the core, with racy acids, great soil signature, laser-like focus and a very long, youthfully complex and very promising finish. 2028-2060+. 93+.”
Weingut Donnhoff Höllenpfad Im Muhlenberg Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Nahe 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $79, that’s $75.05 at 5% off and $71.10 at 10% off, 13 bottles in stock now

Stuart Pigott-James Suckling 97 points “What a dramatic wine this is, at once ripe and austere, super-stony and super-herbal with a touch of peppermint. Compact core in spite of the sleek and very focused body. Electric freshness at the vibrant finish although the acidity is anything but dominant. From organically grown grapes with Fair’n Green certification. Drink or hold.”

Donnhoff’s Noble Dry Wines – Grosses Gewächs
Though the Mosel might get all the attention, the Nahe region of Germany offers something no other can boast: winemakers Helmut and Cornelius Dönnhoff. Anyone who knows their wines knows that this compliment is well deserved.
Dönnhoff is one of our favorite German producers, one we stock by the pallet-load. And we’re not the only ones obsessed. These are wines that become THE wine that made this whole Riesling thing click.
What better way to begin your own journey of discovery than with the top dry options? Fortunately, these Grosses Gewächs (“Great Growth”) wines won’t cost anything close to a plane ticket to Germany (or a top tier bottle of Grand Cru white Burgundy, for that matter). You can explore the premier terroir without the hassle of flight delays.
The pinnacle vineyard, the most mind-expanding, is Hermannshöhle. This revered hill includes vines up to 65-years in age. The winery describes the beguiling results GG as “a grand dry wine with a Mona Lisa smile – mysterious and aristocratic.”
