Diel Goldloch Riesling Kabinett

James Suckling 95: The lovely orange-blossom and honeysuckle nose leads you into the juicy, vibrant and mineral palate that’s got all we look for in a Kabinett. Spot-on balance and a very long, crisp and polished finish. Drink or hold.

Falstaff 92: Grated lemon peel, slate savouriness. On the palate, crisp acidity and defensive sweetness play around each other, and the taste is almost dry. The wine has length and intensity, yet an exhilarating lightness and freshness.

James Suckling 96: Explosive and fascinating nose of persimmon, honeysuckle and wild herbs! As succulent as it is vibrant, this remarkable riesling Kabinett has a stunning balance of generous fruit and minerality on the concentrated yet light-bodied palate. Very zesty blood orange and pink grapefruit finish that’s long and expressive. Drink or hold.

Wine Advocate 90: The 2023 Riesling Goldloch Kabinett is deep and generous on the earthy and slightly flinty nose. Round, fresh, filigreed and frisky on the savory and saline palate, this is a light, crystalline Kabinett, as if it were from the Mosel. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in Burg Layen in February 2025.

Vinous 92: The 2023 Riesling Dorsheimer Goldloch Kabinett combines slight flintiness with a suspicion of passion fruit, a note of fragrant fern and some cumin. The palate is wonderfully citric, homing in on Amalfi lemon freshness amidst its vivid, bold juiciness that just drips with ripe yellow peach. It's beautifully light, far too easy to drink and very animating with its zesty finish. (Sweet)
