The 2024 Dönnhoff Höllenpfad im Mühlenberg Grosses Gewächs is a compelling expression of one of the Nahe’s most distinctive Riesling sites. Sourced from the finest parcels within the steep, red-sandstone slopes of Roxheimer Höllenpfad, this Grosses Gewächs derives its character from weathered Rotliegend sandstone soils that impart a remarkable combination of intensity, spice, and mineral precision. In a vintage marked by severe spring frost and dramatically reduced yields, the wine captures both the concentration and classical structure that define the finest wines of 2024. 

The nose is immediately captivating, offering layers of white peach, nectarine and citrus blossom alongside notes of crushed herbs, wet stone and subtle smoky reduction. As the wine opens, hints of lime zest, yellow apple and red sandstone minerality emerge, revealing a wine of considerable complexity and detail. The palate is dense yet remarkably poised, balancing ripe stone fruit with vibrant acidity and a finely etched saline backbone. The signature red sandstone soils contribute a distinctive spicy, almost peppery character, while the old vines lend depth, texture and concentration. 

Despite its power, the wine remains graceful and precise, with a sense of energy that carries effortlessly through the palate. Layers of citrus, peach skin, crushed rock and mineral salts build toward a long, intensely focused finish that is both mouthwatering and refined. Elegant rather than imposing, the 2024 Höllenpfad im Mühlenberg GG is a wine of tension, transparency and remarkable site expression. While
