Crafted from Riesling vines grown on dark grey slate soils, this wine radiates sophistication.

The Tonschiefer Riesling is sourced primarily from the upper slopes of Oberhäuser Leistenberg, just a stone’s throw from the Dönnhoff family estate. Here, 25- to 45-year-old vines thrive in steep, slate-rich soils. Grapes are meticulously handpicked and gently pressed before fermenting and maturing in a mix of stainless steel tanks and large oak casks. This traditional yet precise approach ensures the wine retains its vibrant fruit character and hallmark slate-derived minerality.

A perfect choice for Riesling aficionados and newcomers alike, this bottle brings the Nahe Valley’s distinctive terroir to life.

Tasting Note: Pure elegance in a glass, the 2023 Dönnhoff Tonschiefer Dry Slate Riesling is a masterclass in balance and finesse. Its vibrant citrus notes are complemented by a lively minerality, with whispers of green apple and a racy acidity that keeps the palate refreshed.

Seafood delights like grilled prawns or seared scallops, or let it cut through the richness of pork belly or duck. Vegetarian options like asparagus risotto or a citrus-dressed salad with goat cheese also sing alongside this crisp white. Even a Thai.

Today, the torch is carried by Cornelius Dönnhoff, who combines respect for tradition with modern expertise.

Their wines are a celebration of terroir, family heritage, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
