A more than beautiful Riesling from Weingut Dönnhoff, which with its 9 Große Layers is counted among the absolute top in the region. This Schlossböckelheimer Felsenberg GG comes from the very old and famous Felsenberg vineyard, beautifully situated on a steep southern slope. The vines grow under extreme conditions in a soil with weathered volcanic porphyry rock. The stony soil heats up quickly during the day, creating very distinctive Rieslings with a zesty fruitiness and mineral acidity, internationally recognized for their distinctive beautiful aromas. At the heart of this fantastic vineyard is the Felsentürmchen ("little rock tower") which is also depicted on the label. The vines are about 25-35 years old and the mineral-rich Felsenberg grapes are always harvested very carefully, selectively and of course by hand. Wine region where Weingut Dönnhoff is located is the Nahe. The area is of course named after the river of the same name and has beautiful steep slopes with slate and volcanic soils that provide an ideal surface for beautiful mineral Rieslings. The Nahe mainly produces white wine, about 75% of which the majority is Riesling. The area has about 4000 hectares of vineyards.
