WINE DESCRIPTION

This Kabinett Riesling is produed by Schlossgut Diel, a castle and winery owned by Armin Diel, whose daughter Caroline is now winemaker and proprietor. They are located in the Nahe region, known for their elegant, nervy, acid-driven Rieslings. The Riesling for this wine is sourced from a steep, sloped vineyard that consists of ten acres. Grapes are gently pressed and fermented in inert vessels as not to impart new oak spice, which would mask the delicate aromatic qualities of Riesling. The fermentation is halted prior to completion in order to retain sweetness, which helps offset the racy acidity that typifies Riesling grown in this marginal climate.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Diel Kabinett Riesling has a pale almost water-white straw hue.On the nose, aromas of ripe peaches, green apples, and citrus blossoms reveal themselves. These fruity notes are complemented by subtle hints of petrol and slate-like mineral undertones, which add elegance to the wine. The palate of Diel Kabinett Riesling is beautifully balanced, with a nervy acidity that gives it a lively and vibrant character that is seamlessly offset by sweetness. The flavors of juicy stone fruits, such as apricots and nectarines, dominate the palate, while zesty citrus notes provide a refreshing tanginess. The wine finishes with a lingering, mouthwatering acidity that leaves you craving for another sip.
