2018 Dönnhoff Tonschiefer / Dry Slate Riesling

Dönnhoff

Nahe

Full-bodied, mineral Riesling wine with a fruit nose of great finesse
and classic acidity.


Viticulture

The sloping vineyards of the Leistenberg are characterised predominantly
by clay slate soils. This dry, blackish-grey slate is perfect
for producing superbly elegant wines. Our characterful dry Riesling
wines from these soils are therefore named after this ancient rock.
Tonschiefer translates as clay slate.
Age of vines 25 – 30 years
Yields ca. 50 hl/ha
100% selective hand harvest


Vinification

Fermented and matured in stainless steel vats and large oak barrels.
