The Winery

Diel, Schlossgut

Located in the lower Nahe on a steep south-facing slope, the 3 vineyards Goldloch, Burgberg and Pittermännchen comprise Diel’s esteemed holdings and were documented as early as 1901 as producing wines of exceptional quality. With nearly thirteen acres, Schlossgut Diel is by far the largest landowner within the steep Goldloch vineyard, a vineyard of clay over bedrock, and whose name evokes miners’ search for gold here in the 17th century. This site is known for producing deep, powerful wines while still maintaining elegance and finesse.

Tasting Notes

WA92
Overripe musk and Persian melons mingle with juicy white peach and subtly-creamy almond for a delicate and – despite unabashed sheer sweetness – discreetly complex 2011 Dorsheimer Goldloch Riesling Spatlese. Sweetly-perfumed floral and seductively animal rather than mineral nuances carry the day here, culminating in a soothing yet persistently stimulating finish. This should delight for the better part of two decades.
