Nahesteiner Weissburgunder 2023

Wine Description for Nahesteiner Weissburgunder 2023 by Diel

Colour & Appearance

Sparkling, pale golden yellow in the glass – a Pinot Blanc that already promises freshness and elegance on the eye.

Nose

Beautifully expressive: apple, pear and quince form the stone fruit foundation, complemented by notes of a blooming summer meadow. Fine nuances of almonds, toasted baguette, anise and fennel herb lend the bouquet complexity and already hint at the gastronomic versatility of this wine on the nose.

Palate

Juicy and precise with a fine mineral trace, typical of the Nahe region. The oak influence – partly from native oak – is subtle and skilfully integrated, without dominating the fruit. Spicy length with earthy undertones that echo the aromatic promises of the nose. At a moderate 12.5% alcohol, the wine remains light-footed and easy to drink.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Classic Pinot Blanc from the renowned Schlossgut Diel. Gentle pressing, fermentation and maturation partly in stainless steel tanks, partly in wooden barrels from native oak forests – a combination that elegantly unites freshness and substance.

Food Pairing Recommendations

An excellent food companion, particularly with dishes featuring earthy and nutty components: porcini mushroom risotto, pan-fried char with hazelnut butter, asparagus with Hollandaise sauce, goat’s cheese with walnuts or chicken in cream sauce with mushrooms. Also an excellent choice with fennel vegetables or fish in anise butter.

Special Features

A Pinot Blanc that demonstrates what the Nahe can achieve: mineral, precise, with fine oak spice and impressive versatility at table. Diel once again proves its knack for elegant, terroir-driven wines beyond its renowned Riesling expertise.
