What to Expect

Few white wines have achieved the fame that Riesling has in Germany. Its ability to produce a wide range of styles, from bone dry to lusciously sweet, in an even wider range of climates has made it the grape of Germany. Riesling in Germany can range from the steely, piercing wines of the Saar to the round, opulent peachy wines one typically finds in the Nahe and the Pfaltz. Every region is capable of producing both dry and sweet versions though there is a movement towards drier wines that has taken hold throughout many regions.

Winemakers Notes

2004 Schlossgut Diel Dorsheimer Burgberg Riesling Kabinett delivers aromas of toasted nuts, milled grain and chalk dust along with a considerable primary Prum-like yeastiness and fermentative overlay. The palate impression is subtly bittersweet in its suggestions of buckwheat cakes and citrus rind. The finish is impressively chalky with a tactile dustiness, although one suspects that the formidable concentration and fine balance of sweetness will ally with a more juicy fruit character given a little time. I began to suspect as well at this point that the vineyard personality of the chalky read more...Burgberg is simply expressing itself less well at this early stage than is the conglomerate and eathered Rotliegenden dominated Goldloch. Incidentally, readers with the requisite disposable income are urged to explore Diel's 2003 T.B.A. (from the Pittermanchen), which was unfortuitously also being bottled the day I visited.
