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

Much has changed over the past few decades in regards to German wine. Long gone are the days of mass produced, sickly sweet white wines which were once the chief exports of this fascinating and ancient wine producing country, and they have been replaced with something far more sophisticated. Whilst Germany continues to produce a relatively large amount of dessert wine, the wineries of the south of the country have reverted their attention to the production of drier, more elegant wines which really make the most of the fine grape varieties which flourish there. Many of the wineries dealing primarily with the excellent Riesling grapes have produced some truly exceptional dry and semi-sweet wines over the past few years, and it seems the world has finally woken up and noticed the extremely high quality of the distinctive produce coming out of Germany today.
