Jancis Robinson, August 2021, Score: 18
For many years now Dönnhoff’s Oberhäuser Leistenberg has set the benchmark for exhilarating Kabinett in Germany. 2020 is no exception, with the ripeness of fruit reflected in a fine appley fragrance augmented by the merest hint of caramel. But it’s not that sweet on the palate, putting its emphasis on a juicy and racy performance with just a dainty notion of graphite dust, reflecting its slatey provenance. Tasted blind it could easily be suspected as coming from the Saar or Ruwer.

Dönnhoff is one the best producers in all of Germany and the estate is arguably the most famous outside of the Mosel valley. The family domaine dates from 1750 and is comprised of 28-hectares in the Nahe, a region located southeast of the Mosel. Its climate unexpectedly evokes the Mediterranean, and its soils are comparable to the Mosel with the addition of clay, though not as steep. The combination of these 2 elements seems to give the best of both worlds - the focus and minerality of the Mosel as well as the fleshy fruit of Germany's warmer regions. The vines have been passed on from father to son to grandson and now the fourth generation holds the reins. Cornelius Dönnhoff took over from his father Helmut in 2007 after 8 years of training. Cornelius continues his father's natural (and perfectionsit) winemaking philiopshy, producing wines of extraordinary power, concentration and complexity. Spellbinding and thought-provoking, they are worth discovering.Read less

Region
Nahe
Nahe is located to the south east of the Mosel. Its climate unexpectedly evokes the Mediterranean, and its slate soils are comparable to the Mosel with the addition of clay, though not as steep. The combination of these two elements seems to give the best of both worlds - the focus and minerality of the Mosel as well as the fleshy fruit of Germany's warmer regions.
