Wintergreen and sage, fresh lime and apple set the penetrating yet delightfully, metaphorically cooling tone for Schlossgut Diel’s 2010 Dorsheimer Goldloch Riesling Spatlese. Effusively juicy and strikingly delicate, this dances across the palate with spice-dusted feet, while nut oils and a hint of creaminess engender a sense of richness to the finish without the wine’s animation and refreshment letting up. Look for at least 12-15 years of delight. While her famous father Armin naturally continues as a trusted advisor, it is evident in conversation as well from continued adjustments in methodology that Caroline Diel is settling into her role as hands-on manager of this great estate, clearly positioning it as one of those lucky enough to receive the special benefits and blessings that can accrue to felicitous multi-generational collaboration. Selective double-salt de-acidification was performed here in 2010 – occasionally even in lots destined for residually sweet wines – and skin contact encouraged. Alcohol levels for this year’s Grosse Gewachse are in the moderate, 12.5-13% range. Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300
