Details
Fine gourmet artistry. They are true rarities, and are considered the crowning achievement of German viniculture. Nobly sweet Rieslings require special climatic conditions, as well as tremendous patience in the harvest and selection of the grapes. In return, they offer unfathomable ageing potential. Beerenauslesen, Trockenbeerenauslesen and Eiswein are the classics of German wine culture, and are considered among the finest treasures the Diel estate has to offer.
Winemaker notes
Subtle spicy yeast scent paired with tropical fruits such as pineapple, mango and passion fruit. Complex fruit sweetness, balanced by a perfect acidity, great aftertaste.
2019
Wine Advocate 94: The yellow-golden 2019 Goldloch Riesling Auslese offers a deep and complex, very intense and aromatic as well as flinty bouquet of fully ripe but healthy fruits intermingled with notes of crushed stones. Round, lush and savory on the palate, this is a rich and generous but delicate and filigree Auslese with a very stimulating and elegant finish that is crystalline and reveals fine grip. This should be great to have with food in five or ten years. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2022.
James Suckling 95: A graceful Auslese with more than enough depth, but the succulent, exotic-fruit aromas are far removed from full-throttle botrytis madness. The creaminess and sweetness are precisely judged. Long, clean finish.
