- TASTING NOTE: "Dark and intensely savory nose with a hint of roasted meat. Only medium-bodied, but the tannins are full and compact. Long finish that’s slightly drying. The first vintage of this wine." 91 POINTS, JAMES SUCKLING
- ABOUT THE WINE: Hand picked over several passes, naturally fermented in open wooden vats with a portion of whole clusters. Pigeage by foot once a day for two weeks. 18 months in small used French oak barrels.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The Diel family are seventh generation farmers who have been working their land in the Nahe since 1806. The estate has 25 hectares across multiple vineyards dedicated mostly to Riesling, though they do grow Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc as well. Like many European vineyards the estate was not always dedicated to growing grapes with that conversion happening under the stewardship of the Grandfather of current owner and winemaker Caroline Diel. Her father Armin spent a further three decades converting the vineyards to focus on Riesling and the Pinot varieties and establishing Schlossgut Diel as one of the great German wineries before handing over the reigns to his daughter and her husband Sylvain in 2019.
