Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Medium straw yellow with elegant, fine bubbles that bear witness to over two years of ageing on lees. The mousse presents itself persistent and delicate.
Nose
A Burgundy sparkling wine of impressive aromatic depth. Intense notes of yellow and red apple dominate, accompanied by pear and mirabelle plum. These are joined by fresh lemon zest, a hint of woodruff, fine mineral spice from the Rotliegend terroir, as well as subtle yeast and herbal notes. The complexity is remarkable for an entry-level sparkling wine.
Palate
Here the true class of this sparkling wine reveals itself: floral and delicate in character, yet with underlying power and intensity. White-fleshed fruits define the flavour profile, carried by juicy fruit flesh and fine spice. The bubbles are extremely delicate, the texture elegant. Alongside the yeast note, hints of almond and hazelnut pastry emerge – a sign of successful lees ageing. The pleasant pressure on the palate lends the sparkling wine structure without being intrusive.
Finish
Medium-length with sustained fruitiness and mineral freshness, characterised by the Rotliegend terroir of the Nahe.
Terroir & Origin
The grapes come from weathered Rotliegend soils on the Nahe – a geological formation of red sandstone and volcanic rock that imparts characteristic minerality to the wines.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Cuvée of approximately 60% Pinot Blanc and 40% Pinot Noir. Base wine matured in stainless steel, tirage 2023, over two years on lees, hand-riddled and disgorged in June 2025 with subtle dosage of 4 g/l. Classic bottle fermentation using the traditional method.
Food Pairing Recommendations
Perfect as an aperitif, with oysters, scallops, sushi and sashimi. Also an excellent choice with pan-fried white fish, poultry in cream sauce or goat’s cheese.
Special Features
An “entry-level sparkling wine at a very high level” that demonstrates quality need not necessarily be a matter of price. The careful handwork in riddling and the extended lees ageing underscore the quality aspirations of Weingut Diel.
