"Intimations of peat, crushed stone, and chalk in the nose of the Diel 2009 Dorsheimer Goldloch Riesling Grosses Gewachs – when taken with considerable piquancy of lemon rind and peach kernel – make for a relatively austere performance. That’s not, however, to say that this is unimpressive, and its silken texture and sense of breadth offer an appropriate foil for its sense of mineral suffusion and piquancy. The effect is more formidable than loveable to be sure, but this wine’s grip, too, is impressive, and it ought to be well worth following . . ."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
