"The Dönnhoff family picked two small lots of Eiswein this year, one on the 9th of December and the other on the 13th, and Helmut Dönnhoff decided that they would be better blended together to make one bottling, rather than have two tiny bottlings of each individual picking. The wine shows off the inherent elegance of the vintage in its beautiful bouquet, wafting from the glass in a mix of apple pie, lilacs, pears, slate, honeycomb and esthery topnotes that recall apple blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and filigreed, with a lovely core of fruit, zesty acids and a long, pure and electric finish. This is an exotically delicate wine of great harmony and beauty."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
