{"product_id":"donnhoff-riesling-spatlese-2020","title":"Dönnhoff Riesling Spätlese 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eA beautifully poised Spätlese with ripe citrus, stone fruit, and dazzling mineral tension. Sweetness, acidity, and finesse held in perfect balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2018 Riesling Spätlese is a shining example of why Dönnhoff is considered one of Germany’s greatest Riesling producers. Based in the Nahe region, the Dönnhoff family has been cultivating vines since the 18th century, with Helmut Dönnhoff and now his son Cornelius shaping the estate’s global reputation for precision, balance, and purity of expression. Their wines reflect a deep respect for terroir, and the Spätlese style in particular showcases the harmony between ripe fruit sweetness and mineral-driven freshness that defines great German Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warm and generous 2018 vintage allowed Riesling to achieve exceptional ripeness, and in Dönnhoff’s hands, this translates into a wine of remarkable concentration and poise. Aromas of white peach, apricot, and citrus blossom rise from the glass, underpinned by subtle hints of honey, floral lift, and the stony minerality of the Nahe’s slate and volcanic soils. On the palate, luscious stone fruit and delicate honeyed sweetness are balanced by a streak of vibrant acidity, creating tension and elegance in equal measure.\u003cbr\u003eMedium-bodied and silky, the wine finishes long, clean, and mineral, leaving a lingering impression of freshness alongside the richness of ripe fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile already captivating in its youth, this Spätlese will evolve beautifully over the next 15–20 years, developing layers of honey, spice, and the classic petrol nuance of mature Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Crushed Grape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57376082264399,"sku":null,"price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/2550\/0239\/files\/Donnhoff.png?v=1777638559","url":"https:\/\/crushedgrape.co.uk\/products\/donnhoff-riesling-spatlese-2020","provider":"The Crushed Grape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
