Distillery Information

Weingut Dnnhoff is an estate in the Nahe region of the Rhineland. It is often regarded as one of Germany’s very best producers, famous for the high-quality of its wines which are made predominantly from Riesling. The wine portfolio includes single-vineyard wines and estate wines with approximately 10,000 cases produced each vintage. Dnnhoff is one of only three German estates to receive a 100-point rating from Robert Parker, for the 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2010 vintages of its Riesling Eiswein. The estate is located at Oberhausen in the Riesling heartland of Nahe. There are around 20 hectares (50 acres) of vineyard, with a healthy proportion of Erste Lage sites. Some 80 percent of production is of the Riesling grape, which is planted on rocky, volcanic soils, giving the wines balanced acidity and intense minerality. The remainder of Dnnhoff’s vineyards are devoted to Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. These are planted on more loamy, less stony soils, which retain more water through the summer.
