Description / Reviews
"A historic steeply sloping vineyard that Dönnhoff awoke from its slumber. Steep terraces in a hollow with slate and porphyry soils. The vines are about 20 years old and yield about 35hl/ha. 100% selective hand harvest. The must ferments and the wine matures in classic wooden barrels and stainless-steel vats. Vigorously spicy and at the same time dancingly elegant with great depth and a fascinating charisma." – Weingut Dönnhoff
"Exceptionally refined and racy, this has terrific Amalfi lemon freshness and white peach fruit on the very focused, medium-bodied palate. Incredible drive in the super-long finish. The aromatic finesse of the wild flower, peach and Amalfi lemon nose is almost as great as the textural finesse. Incredible delicacy in the super-long finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair’n Green certification. Drink or hold." - 98 Points, Stuart Pigott, James Suckling
The 2024 Dellchen GG Norheimer Riesling is deep and dense on the nose, with ripe, juicy fruit, good substance and fullness and fine tannins that are already apparent in the aroma. Juicy and full-bodied on the palate, this is a powerful and still somewhat loud and sharp Dellchen with potential to refine." - 93+ Points, Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate
The 2024 Riesling Norheimer Dellchen Grosses Gewächs was made in tiny quantities this year. It is from a porphyry site with shale cover. Flint, herb and lemon aromas come together in a most enticing combination. The palate is taut, svelte and luminous. Stony and fine, elegance runs through it like sunlight, heightening the citric freshness imbued with peppery, zesty savour. The 2024 is so linear and bright yet completely ripe. Cornelius says that they picked just 1,500 kg per hectare. (Bone-dry)." - 94–96 Points, Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous
