Wine Advocate, July 2022, Score: 94
The 2021 Roxheimer Höllenpfad Riesling trocken is very clear, refined and coolish on the stony and flinty yet tender, beautifully balanced and spicy nose that reveals perfectly ripe and elegant Riesling fruit with rosemary and salty, darker-toned terroir notes. Lush and refined on the palate, this is a dense and complex, firmly structured but elegant, smooth-flowing and persistently saline Höllenpfad with a long, saline and juicy finish. A gorgeous Riesling that is outstanding again. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022. Drink 2022-2050.

Jancis Robinson, May 2022, Score: 18.5
The warmth of the stones and the cool of the vintage come together in pitch-perfect harmony to reveal fine fruit-laced aromas atop a firm structure and acidic backbone. Cool stream, bread crust, green apple, apricot and lime. The lithe and elegant palate dances with salty grace and stony grip; ripe apple and wild herbs. Tightly hugs the defined curves like a roadster along the dizzying Pacific Coast Highway. Breathtaking beauty, with pure muscle and speed beneath. Drink 2023-2035.

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.
