Diel has been a well respected estate in Nahe since 1802 and is currently helmed by Caroline, one of the elite female winemakers in Germany. She creates the “Eierfels” bottling as essentially a miniature Grosses Gewachs – most notably due to the fact that the fruit is sourced from two Grand Cru sites (Goldloch and Burgberg).
Sustainable.

Description

The soils here are a mix of clay with slate and gravel while the vines currently range from 30-60 years old. In the cellar, Caroline ferments with ambient yeast and matures the wine in locally sourced oak barrels. Wondeful nose of bruised yellow fruit, petrol, and lemongrass leads to a bright and focused palate. A dry Riesling with tons of personality and cellar potential. Sustainable farming (practicing organic as much as the steep slopes allow).
