Tasting notes
The 2017 Goldloch Riesling Auslese is clear and floral on the complex nose with its minty and flinty notes. Lush and elegant on the palate, this is a generous and finessed Auslese with delicate acidity and a highly refined, stimulating, crystalline and piquant finish. Playful and crisp, with sensual fruit and texture. Awesome. Tasted in July 2019.

“There wasn’t much botrytis this year,” relates Diel, so this bottling mostly represents healthy but super-ripe and concentrated berries. Nectarine and white peach deliver an enticing nose and luscious, brightly juicy abundance on a glossy, delicate palate. A touch of salinity serves for saliva-inducement in the long-lasting and only moderately sweet finish. Greater complexity is almost certain to emerge with time.
