A delicious kabinett, elegant midpalate, with white raspberry and ruby grapefruit flavors that extend to envelop notes of dried pineapple and hints of eucalyptus on the finish. Needs a year or two to come together, but all the elements are there. Best from 2021 through 2033.
Product Description:
Diel is located in the Northern Nahe with steep, south-facing sites with soils varying from slate to quartzite, to gravel. The combination of great vineyard sites, dedicated vineyard management and meticulous winemaking has led the winery to receive continued acclaim. The wines scrupulously define themselves: the style changes as the vintage dictates but the wines are always clear, sophisticated, and balanced.
Elegant spicy aromas brimming with apricots and Cox apple, as well as a touch of peach and pink grapefruit; the subtle fruitiness works in perfect harmony with a refined, racy acidity; brilliant finish.
