Beschreibung

Product description for Diel Riesling Burgberg GG 2022

Wine Information

The high proportion of quartzite on the primary rock of the Rotliegend gives the VDP.Grossen Lage BURGBERG a pronounced spiciness, smokiness, and deep minerality on the finish. Its kettle-shaped wine, framed by Permian rocks, is reminiscent of the structure of an amphitheater. Gentle pressing of the grapes. Fermentation and long aging with natural yeasts in multi-year-old barrels from local oak forests.

Color/Appearance

Light golden yellow with distinct green reflections.

Nose

The 2012 Riesling Burgberg Großes Gewächs from Schlossgut Diel presents itself as a beautiful purist. Aromas of cool stone and graphite open the wine, and only after prolonged contact with oxygen do fruity nuances of lime, wild raspberry, and Clavaillon melon peel emerge. A wine that appears calm and composed.

Palate

Power and finesse go hand in hand, pleasantly attacking the palate with a piquant note and pronounced acidity. Its length and precise acidity and spiciness are impressive. A wine with “cool” finesse that offers great potential for development. Dishes with fish, mussels, and seafood are a definite trump card.

Wine Advocate

Score: 95

The 2022 Riesling Burgberg GG is deep and intense on the nose that shows ripe and overripe, seriously concentrated, lemony and herbal/floral notes of lemon and pink Riesling fruits. Aged in stücks for one year and another year in stainless steel, this is a tight and savory, quite firm and still quite tannic, long and stimulating bitter-finishing Riesling compared to the other GGs of the vintage chez Diel. The wine is generously textured, saline and full of grip and mineral tension. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in Burg Layen in February 2025.

Score: 94

The 2022 Riesling Dorsheimer Burgberg Grosses Gewächs opens with ripe, juicy yellow pear and dried pear flesh, later developing a minty lift. The palate still has a yeasty vibe with a core of lemon brightness. The heart is all lemon, zest and pith, lending brightness and structure. This needs time to unfold. (Bone-dry)
