Tasting notes

"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." 95/100 James Suckling, Sep'2021

"Some like their Kabinett sweet, others refreshing. The Schlossberg from Caroline Diehl takes the gentle approach. The fragrance does not deny its spontaneous roots, but reflects them in a delightfully fresh herbal way. Green sappy herbs also feature on the palate, soothing acidity relaxes the taste buds but keeps them alert enough to enjoy a subtle salty minerality on the finish." 17.5/20, Michael Schmidt, Jancis Robinson, Aug'2021

The producer

Schlossgut Diel Burg Layen, Germany

Schlossgut Diel, built around a medieval castle above Burg Layen in the Nahe, is one of Germany's most celebrated Riesling estates. The wines of Armin Diel earned the estate a legendary reputation during the 1990s and 2000s: precise, mineral, age-worthy Rieslings from the steep Goldloch, Burgberg and Pittermännchen sites.

Today his daughter Caroline Diel continues the work, farming the same singular vineyards with the same dedication to expressing the Nahe's blue-slate and volcanic terroir — among the most complex and individual in all of Germany.
