2025 Dönnhoff Felsenberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs

A very old and famous site, splendidly located on a steep southern slope. The vines grow under extreme conditions in weathered volcanic porphyry soil. The stony ground heats quickly during the day, and that warmth produces characteristic Rieslings with a racy fruitiness and mineral acidity, internationally recognized for their distinctive flinty aromas. At the heart of this fantastic vineyard stands our Felsentürmchen (“small rock tower”). The mineral-rich Felsenberg grapes undergo an intense selective harvest and their wines bear the symbol of the Felsentürmchen.


Vinous 95-97 Points: "The 2025 Riesling Schlossböckelheimer Felsenberg Grosses Gewächs is from melaphyre and comes with an intriguing nose that unites pepper, grapefruit zest, salty earth and a touch of quince. Stoniness and tingling, salty stone define the palate with clarity, precision and majestic straightness. Beautiful linearity brings such clarity, such poise, such dynamic movement and an airy, soaring quality. A pure and airy expression of Riesling, seemingly from naked stone.” Anne Krebiehl MW
