Tonschiefer Riesling trocken - Dönnhoff

With the Dönnhoff Tonschiefer Riesling comes a first-class white wine in the wine glass. Here it reveals a wonderfully brilliant, light yellow color. The nose of this white wine from the Nahe region convinces with nuances of honeysuckle, cherry blossom, apricot and quince. If we trace the aromatics further, bitter chocolate, Mediterranean herbs and cocoa bean are added.

The Tonschiefer Riesling from Dönnhoff is the right choice for all wine connoisseurs who like it dry. However, it never shows itself meager or brittle, as one would naturally expect from a wine in the high quality wine range. Due to its lively fruit acidity, the Tonschiefer Riesling presents itself wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate.

Vinification of the Tonschiefer Riesling from Dönnhoff

The basis for the elegant Tonschiefer Riesling from the Nahe are grapes from the Riesling grape variety. At the time of optimal ripeness, the grapes for the Tonschiefer Riesling are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective full harvesters. After harvesting, the grapes are taken to the pressing house by the fastest possible route. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging for several months on the fine lees before the wine is finally drawn off.
