Here's a chance to drink a Scheurebe Spätlese from 2009, now well over a decade past vintage, from one of the Nahe's grand old estates. Schlossgut Diel's whole range is built as a study in terroir and in the intensity that different ripeness levels bring. Spätlese means late-harvest, riper fruit, so this bottle shows what Scheurebe does when it's given that extra hang time. The estate farms 25 hectares at Burg Layen in Germany's Nahe. One bit of history we love: the Diels bought the estate in 1802 from Baron Dalberg, who had kept it out of the hands of Napoleon's troops. Caroline Diel runs it today as proprietor and winemaker. For anyone curious about German whites beyond Riesling, this is a fun and easy bottle to open.

More about Schlossgut Diel

The Diel family has been cultivating the Nahe since 1802 from a 12th-century castle (schloss). Caroline Diel is the seventh generation and first woman to lead the estate, working with her husband Sylvain. Riesling dominates (70%), with Pinot varieties filling the rest. Hand-picked, spontaneous fermentation, a mix of stainless steel and regional oak. The signature cuvée 'Diel de Diel' is a refreshing blend of Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Riesling. This is Nahe wine done with precision and personality.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Thai green papaya salad or larb; Sichuan dan dan noodles; roast pork belly with apples; smoked trout with horseradish cream; Munster or Époisses.

Tasting Profile

Expect Scheurebe's exuberant aromatics: pink grapefruit, blackcurrant and passion fruit with a herbal, sage-like edge. At Spätlese ripeness it's typically off-dry and medium-bodied, with its gentle sweetness balanced by lively acidity, and with bottle age these wines tend to pick up honeyed, savoury notes. Think of a more exotic, grapefruit-driven cousin of Riesling, finishing juicy and long.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
