About this product
From the steep blue-slate Halenberg site above Monzingen — the Nahe's most celebrated slate-based Riesling. Aromatic, transparent, and deeply mineral with blue fruit, lime zest, white flowers, graphite, and a vibrating slate minerality that evolves magnificently over 10–20 years. A counterpoint to Dönnhoff's volcanic power, this is slate finesse at the highest level.

Slate mineral Riesling with goat cheese — the wine's citrus and mineral lift cuts through chèvre's tanginess. Honey adds sweetness while walnuts mirror the wine's subtle bitterness.
