This likely auction bottling was sourced from recently acquired old vines that expanded Schlossgut Diel’s share in this Einzellage. Quince jelly, mirabelle preserves and very flowery honey dominate proceedings that combine lusciousness and creaminess of texture with welcome brightness of fresh lemon. Bittersweet impingements of candied lemon rind, along with mouthwatering savor of browned butter and mineral salts, make for superb diversity as well irresistibility. The near-endless finish both soothes and stimulates. ... More details

The golden-orange colored 2015 Burg Layer Johannisberg Trockenbeerenauslese is from a steep vineyard with weathered soils and comes along as a rich, very sweet and intense but also piquant TBA with racy acidity. The finish is long, lovely and aromatic. Keep this wine for a decade or more.

Country: Germany

As in many Old World countries, the rise of viticulture in Germany came about as a result of the Roman Empire, who saw the potential for vine cultivation in the vast flatlands around the base of the Rhine valley. Indeed, for over a thousand years, Germany's wine production levels were enormous, with much of the south of the country being used more or less exclusively for growing grapes. Over time, this diminished to make way for expanding cities and other types of industries, but Southern Germany remains very much an important wine region within Europe, with many beautifully balanced and flavorful German wines being prized by locals and international wine lovers alike. The hills around Baden-Baden and Mannheim are especially noteworthy, as these produce the high end of the characteristic semi-sweet white wines which couple so perfectly with German cheeses and pickled vegetables. However, all of Germany's wine producing regions have something special and unique to offer, and are a joy to explore and experience.
