GERMANY / NAHE /
Wine Spectator | Rating: 90
A firm white, with peach, lime and mineral flavors on an elegant profile. Sleek and understated for the vintage, this has a complex range of flavors and detail. 59 cases imported.Author: Bruce SandersonJancis Robinson | Rating: 17
Super-pure and super-tight citrus - an expression of pale lemon. Then perfumed and rounded on the palate. Cool and fresh. Elegance personified but with sinewy strength underneath. Minerality comes through on the finish.Author: Julia Harding MWIssue: 39149Wine Advocate | Rating: 96
The 2006 Oberhauser Brucke Riesling Spatlese rises to the challenge with a performance of unforgettable delicacy, refinement and elegance, without stinting on honeyed richness. Gardenia and heliotrope offer a heady bouquet, sprinkled with framboise and lemon. Red raspberry and quince preserves lemon, salt and slate mingle on a creamy, seemingly weightless palate, in a harmonious colloquy, tartness folded into honey and vanilla cream richness. Sensational dynamism, penetrating length, and mysteriously mineral, savory, depth (there is already an unexpected note of bitter chocolate) await you in a bottle of this Brucke over the next quarter century.Author: David Schildknecht

Outstanding wine. Long finale. Elegant, citrus flavors, a hint of jasmine, very lightly sweet. Amazing.Author: pog
Making a strong case for the superiority of Nahe to its Mosel competition, Donnhoff crafts Rieslings of presence, structure, and indescribable complexity. After several years of vineyard management, Helmut is the latest in a long line of Donnhoffs to oversee winemaking at the estate, founded in 1750. His vineyard portfolio includes the best plots in the most renowned vineyards in the area, and of the 20 hectares under vine, roughly 80% are planted to Riesling. The Donnhoff style is set apart by its fullness and richness, inspiring exalted poetic lauding from critics and loyalists alike.
