The Wines of Weingut Donnhoff
 
The Jewel of the Nahe
 

 

 

Riesling was my first love as a wine enthusiast and it remains my most treasured variety. We at Vinopolis have at many times in this newsletter extolled the virtues of this grape and I hope dearly that we have convinced the unknowing to sample it for the very first time.

The 2019s are potent, tightly wound wines that will thrill readers who appreciate the nuance, subtlety, and structure of Nebbiolo. Today, the 2019s show elements that, at times, recall vintages such as 2016, 2005, and 1995.
