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

Despite being known primarily for sweet and semi-sweet white wines, Germany actually produces a surprisingly large and varied range of wines, with many reaching an extremely high standard and being very well received on the world stage. The terrain across much of the southern parts of the country is extremely fertile, with mineral rich soils adding a wonderful edge to already excellent grapes, and thus resulting in delicious and highly elegant white and rosé wines. The climate in many parts of Germany also allows for some more unusual wine-making practices, with certain regions specializing in the highly aromatic and distinctive 'ice-wines' which are gaining popularity by those looking for something a little more intense and unusual. With these wines, the producers allow the grapes to freeze through the early frosts, resulting in a higher sugar content and a fantastic set of flavors and aromas in the finished product. Germany has long since favored quality over quantity, and a new enthusiasm for fine wine within the country is producing truly exciting results, using a blending of traditional and contemporary techniques.
