The Queen of the Vines. Riesling has a long tradition here on the Nahe, and at the Diel estate in particular. It requires time, patience and hard work to draw out her best — before and after harvest. Yet the rewards are many, and bestow Diel's dry Rieslings with the finest balance, juicy structure, spicy floral aromas and concentrated minerality.
Complex scent reminiscent of dried apricot and ripe peach. The melty fullness is accompanied by a fine acidity. Long aftertaste reminiscent of forest honey.
James Suckling 94: So cool and so fascinating, this very serious dry riesling for a village wine has the structure that we expect from riesling GGs! I love the way the abundant fine tannins interlock with the mineral acidity and the restrained stone fruit character. Very long, stony finish with impressive energy. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.
