Riesling Von Der Nahe 2023

Wine Description for Riesling Von Der Nahe 2023 by Diel

Character

A classic Nahe Riesling in its purest form: vinified dry, with moderate alcohol of 11.5% vol. and that characteristic tension which distinguishes this region from all other German wine landscapes. Slender, precise and characterised by lively acidity – a wine that does not deny its origins and has no wish to.

Terroir & Origin

The Nahe is regarded as one of the most versatile and geologically fascinating wine regions in Germany. Situated between the Mosel and Rheinhessen, it unites soils of porphyry, slate, sandstone and quartzite, which lend the Riesling an unmistakable mineral depth. The continental-influenced microclimate with warm days and cool nights ensures slow ripening and aromatic complexity. The vintage 2023 produced ripe, expressive wines in many parts of Germany – with sufficient natural acidity to preserve freshness and elegance.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Riesling is the pinnacle of German wine culture – and at the Nahe it finds one of its most convincing expressions. The winery Diel, for generations one of the most reliable addresses in the region, stands for a style that places craftsmanship and authenticity to terroir at the forefront. A wine like this – positioned as an entry point to the range – nonetheless conveys the essence of the house: clear, precise, without unnecessary embellishment. The dry vinification emphasises the natural minerality and lets the terroir speak.

Food Pairing Recommendations

The lively acidity and slender structure make this Riesling a versatile companion at the table. It harmonises beautifully with asparagus with hollandaise sauce, grilled pike-perch or trout with almond butter. It also reveals its qualities with Asian dishes with fresh citrus notes, sushi or simple goat’s cheese. A wine for everyday drinking – but one without compromise.
