Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Leistenberg Riesling Spätlese 2008 is a late-harvest white wine from the Nahe region of Germany. The Leistenberg vineyard is characterised by grey, carbon-laced decomposed argillaceous slate, which imparts a distinct mineral character to the wine. Fermentation and maturation occur in a combination of stainless steel and large oak barrels to preserve the purity of the Riesling fruit. This wine showcases a high-wire act of 9+ g/l acidity juxtaposed with citric sweetness and honeyed orchard fruit. The steep slopes and unique soil composition result in a wine with crystalline purity and a long, pointed finish. It represents a precise, elegant expression of the Nahe`s cooler growing sites.
