"The Diel 2009 Dorsheimer Pittermannchen Riesling Spatlese – at 8% alcohol and in the upper 50s of grams residual sugar, yet not overly-sweet – is alluringly scented with bergamot, black tea, wet stone, almond paste, honeydew melon, pear, and Urziger Wurzgarten-like strawberry, which follow lusciously and with intricate counterpoint on a creamy yet refreshing palate. A saliva-inducing streak of salinity runs through this as well, adding to the sheer irresistibility of its remarkably long finish."

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.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
