Dorsheimer Goldloch:
With nearly ten acres (4 ha) Schlossgut Diel is by far the largest owner of this legendary steep site. One explanation of the name is that miners searched for gold here in the 17th century. Another is that the wines made from this site are worth their weight in gold. The key to success is in the soil. A thin layer of clay over bedrock provides power, elegance and depth to the wines.

"The 2023 Riesling Goldloch Kabinett is deep and generous on the earthy and slightly flinty nose. Round, fresh, filigreed and frisky on the savory and saline palate, this is a light, crystalline Kabinett, as if it were from the Mosel. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in Burg Layen in February 2025."
