Dönnhoff Oberhauser Brücke Riesling Spätlese

Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Spätlese is an icon among German wines. This Riesling, from the renowned winemaker Dönnhoff and grown on the unique terroir of the Oberhäuser Brücke, is a real treat for lovers of sweet wines.

On the nose you discover a complex bouquet of ripe fruit such as peach, apricot and exotic fruits, complemented by subtle hints of honey, minerals and a touch of petroleum. These aromas are characteristic of a good Riesling Spätlese and often develop further with age. On the palate the wine is sweet and full, with a lively acidity that perfectly balances the sweetness. The finish is long and minerally, with a pleasant aftertaste of fruit and honey.

The unique terroir of the Oberhäuser Brücke, with its slate soils and microclimate, contributes to the minerality and complexity of this wine. The Dönnhoff Riesling Spätlese is a wine that can handle bottle aging well and often becomes even better after a few years.

Wine - Food pairing

The Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Spätlese is a refined sweet wine that requires subtle combinations. Its lively acidity and complex aromas of ripe fruit and minerals make it an excellent partner for dishes with a delicate sweetness. Think of foie gras, blue cheese such as Roquefort, or desserts such as a crumble with fruit or a tart with almond paste. The Riesling can also give a surprising twist to spicy Asian dishes, such as Thai curries, by enhancing the balance between sweet and sour. The wine can also be enjoyed on its own as a meditative experience.
