Hermann Dönnhoff - Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Eiswein-Beerenauslese 1975 - 0,35 l

A rare 1975 sweet Riesling from the renowned Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle vineyard, this Eiswein-Beerenauslese captures the exceptional concentration and longevity for which Nahe dessert wines are celebrated. Presented in a 0.35-litre bottle and supplied in an elegant wooden case, it is a remarkable collector’s wine and a luxurious choice for special occasions.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep golden hue, reflecting its considerable age and concentration. Its aromatic profile is rich and expressive, with layers of ripe peach, apricot, honey and subtle mineral nuances. On the palate, it is lusciously sweet and full-bodied, yet retains the vibrant Riesling acidity that keeps the wine fresh and balanced. A long, persistent finish brings together candied fruit, honey and a refined mineral note. With careful storage, this style of Riesling can remain captivating for decades, offering a mature and complex drinking experience today.

Production
Made from hand-selected, overripe Riesling grapes from the Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle vineyard in Germany’s Nahe region, the wine combines the concentration of Beerenauslese selection with the frozen-grape character of Eiswein production. Grapes affected by frost are harvested at very low temperatures, allowing frozen water to be separated from the concentrated must during pressing. The result is a small-volume, intensely sweet wine marked by ripe fruit, pronounced acidity and exceptional concentration. Specific details regarding the exact harvest date and vinification are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, ideally at around 8–10°C, as an aperitif or alongside desserts such as crème brûlée, cheesecake, apricot tart or fresh fruit. It also pairs beautifully with blue cheese and other richly flavoured cheeses. Decanting is generally unnecessary for this small-format, mature bottle, although gently pouring it into a narrow carafe can help remove any sediment and allow the aromas to open before serving.

Producer
Hermann Dönnhoff is one of the Nahe’s most respected wine estates, with family winemaking roots reaching back to the 18th century. The estate is particularly celebrated for its Rieslings, including wines from outstanding vineyards such as Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle, whose volcanic and mineral-rich soils contribute depth, precision and longevity. Dönnhoff’s reputation rests on the meticulous selection of grapes and the production of highly expressive dry and noble-sweet wines that rank among Germany’s finest.
