The Nahe wine-growing region in south-west Germany is known for its diverse grape varieties, terroirs and high-quality white and red wines.
The temperate climate and varied soils contribute to the diversity of wine styles. Winegrowing dates back to the 11th century, with the region focussing on quality and terroir in recent decades. The diverse grape varieties and soils allow for a wide selection of wines that appeal to connoisseurs and beginners alike.
Nahe wines are elegant, fruity and mineral; Rieslings with a wide range of styles are particularly appreciated.
The Dönnhoff wine estate in Oberhausen on the Nahe has been in existence for over 250 years. Today it is run by Cornelius Dönnhoff, the fourth generation of the family to do so. Kreuznacher Kahlenberg, Roxheimer Höllenpfad, Krötenötenpfuhl or Dellchen. Dönnhoff has ten large vineyards that are among the best in the region - and here, on volcanic and slate rock, he produces primarily Rieslings of international renown.
