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."

"Explosive and fascinating nose of persimmon, honeysuckle and wild herbs! As succulent as it is vibrant, this remarkable riesling Kabinett has a stunning balance of generous fruit and minerality on the concentrated yet light-bodied palate. Very zesty"

"The 2022 Riesling Dorsheimer Goldloch Kabinett has a touch of stone fruit on the nose. The palate turns this into a juicy yellow peach, tempered by russet pear peel and followed by a grapefruit freshness. There's a spicier edge, and a peppery verve appears later. Mouthwatering and bold with real drive and energy, the 2022 shows around 45 g/l of residual sweetness (Sweet)"
