Pinot de Diel Sekt Rosé Brut, Ernte 2021

Wine description for Pinot de Diel Sekt Rosé Brut N°001 Erste 2021 from Diel

Colour & appearance

An elegant Rosé with luminous orange-coloured reflections, that is sparkling in the glass with a fine, lively Mousse inspires. The perlage rises persistently and delicately - a sign of precision craftsmanship.

Nose

Beguilingly complex: Wild strawberries and Wild raspberries meet wild herbs and Graphite. A fine Pepper flavour pervades the bouquet, while an aristocratic, cool minerality with delicate iodine flavours lends structure and depth to the whole. This salty, maritime component is unusual and fascinating.

Palate

This is where the Pinot de Diel shows its true class: charged with tension and with an enormous pull, it immediately stimulates salivation. The texture is sinewy and precise, far removed from the pleasing sparkling wine mainstream. The Freshness is electrifying, the Seasoning concise - this is no mere aperitif sparkling wine, but a serious accompaniment to food.

Departure

Long, mineral and from a persistent Seasoning characterised. The freshness remains until the end without the acidity dominating - a balancing act that Caroline and Sylvain Diel masterfully manage.

Terroir & origin

From the steep slate slopes of the Near, where the Diel winery is one of the absolute top producers. The mineral character and cool elegance reflect the unique terroir of this often underestimated German wine region.

Grape variety & vinification

A cuvée from Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc, traditionally vinified. The grapes from the 2021 harvest were carefully selected and vinified with the aim of producing a Brood of gastronomic calibre - no fining through dosage, but pure fruit and terroir expression.

Food pairing suggestions

Fried scallops, Sushi and Sashimi, vitello tonnato, Veal tartare, Smoked trout or Goat's cheese with fig mustard. Its salty minerality makes it the ideal partner for everything from the sea.
