Description

What type of wine it is

The Oberhäuser Brücke Monopol Riesling Spätlese is an exceptional sweet white wine by Dönnhoff. Crafted entirely from Riesling grapes from the prestigious Mosel-Saar-Ruwer appellation, this Spätlese fully expresses the character of the grape variety. On the palate, it is soft and creamy, balanced by a lively freshness and an elegant structure. Winemaking techniques include spontaneous fermentation and ageing in stainless steel tanks, designed to enhance the vibrant minerality and purity of the fruit.

Where it comes from

This Riesling originates in Germany, in the historic Oberhäuser Brücke monopoly vineyard, located in the renowned Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region. The terroir is characterised by a complex geological combination, with a bedrock of clay slate covered by a layer of loess. The area's unique microclimate is ideal for late ripening, giving the glass a distinctive mineral signature and allowing the development of a natural sweetness of exceptional finesse.

How it is produced

The production of this wine begins with a rigorous selective hand-harvest carried out in several passes, essential for picking the bunches at the perfect degree of ripening. Subsequently, the must undergoes a spontaneous fermentation that is slow and prolonged, carried out mainly through the action of indigenous yeasts. Finally, the maturation process takes place entirely in stainless steel tanks, a technical choice aimed at preserving the vibrant acidity and aromatic complexity of the wine intact.

History and interesting facts

The prestigious 2025 Riesling Spätlese originates from the renowned monopoly vines of the famous Oberhäuser Brücke vineyard, considered a true VDP Grosse Lage jewel. This enchanting terroir is located in the heart of the famous German wine-growing region of Moselle-Saar-Ruwer. Thanks to its exceptional microclimate, perfect for late ripening, the ancient vines rooted in clay slate manage to yield grapes of noble and fascinating sweetness, highlighting the signature of the renowned Dönnhoff winery.

Gusto

Taste

On the palate, it is warm and very smooth, with an airy creaminess without heaviness and a slightly liqueur-like juice. Notes of lemon curd, white peach, vanilla and a hint of caramel, enlivened by a very fresh splash of lime and sunnier tones of lychee. A minerality between metallic and stony, with a long and radiant finish; a balance between ripe fruity sweetness and fine, lively acidity.

From this winery
  • Hectares: 25
Living legend and world oenology German, Helmut Dönnhoff (brilliantly supported by his son Cornelius, who recently won in 2014 the prestigious prize awarded by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung for the best winemaker German) has been and continues to be above all one of the most forward-looking and inspired architects of 'rise of the Nahe to the rank of wine-growing region of stature equal to that of the most renowned and historical Rheingau and Mosel. A date on all perhaps helps to understand fully what the biography of Helmut and the recent history of the Nahe wine are intertwined, so nothing short of amazing, almost fated. Indeed, it was 1971 when the then twenty-two year Helmut, grandson of the founder Hermann, took over the reins of the small family business, deciding to oversee the winemaking; Coincidentally that same year was promulgated the law that still defines the quality system of German wines, and also inserted the Nahe between 13 "regional quality labels" (Anbaugebiet) Teutonic. Given this premise, of course the wines of his homeland could express a distinct identity to which the labeling of generic "Rhine wine" until then adopted by almost all the local producers did not do justice, Helmut began between 4 has a steep rows possessed a patient, silent, unapparent revolution. Member of VDP Weingut Dönnhoff now has about 25 hectares of vineyards, where in addition to riesling are placed pinot white and gray. The different microclimates, often very pronounced, like the slopes of the most prestigious Erste Lage (cru planted with riesling higher recognized tradition); the extraordinary variety of the mineral composition of the soil in which the vines, never irrigated despite the often droughty climate, are forced to become deeply rooted; high plant density and pruning that force the cluster to mature at the bottom, next to the stony soils, allowing them to benefit from the heat released during the night; surgical harvests, consisting of never less than 3 steps carried out in time also significant distance from each other; prolonged fermentation, very slow, mostly spontaneous, in which the addition of selected yeasts is limited, thanks to the choice of turning musts not perfectly clarified and therefore richer here is some of the practices that help to define the identity of every shimmering wine year of Dönnhoff, products in a range that goes from Trocken to rare Eiswein. Wines pure and graceful, the sidereal mineral precision, elegance quotes: so sharp, planes, rarefied the driest since opulent and contrasted the sweetest.
