Brücke

single vineyard in the municipality of Oberhausen in the German wine-growing region of Nahe. In 1931, the winegrower Hermann Dönnhoff bought a small vineyard on the eponymous Luitpold Bridge over the Nahe, which connected the former Bavarian Oberhausen with the former Prussian Niederhausen. He removed the old vines and planted the Riesling variety. In 1971, in the course of land consolidation, the "bridge" was to be incorporated into a larger site, but Helmut Dönnhoff fought a long battle until 1979 to ensure that the site was preserved. The south-facing vineyard at 125 to 130 metres above sea level with a 15% slope towards the Nahe covers just 1.1 hectares of vines on weathered grey slate subsoil with loess loam on top. It is the sole property of the Dönnhoff Hermann winery.
