Nahe Sekt 'Pinot de Diel' Brut

This Sekt (German Champagne-method sparkling wine) is produced from a co-planted and co-fermented blend of the three Pinots: Noir, Blanc, and Gris (or "Spätburgunder, Weissburgunder, and Grauburgunder as they are called in Germany). Fermented in Stainless steel and matured on the lees for at least 20 months, the wine was then given a brut-level dosage produced from sweet Pinot Gris that was matured in oak barrels. This is a sparkler that is round but fresh with a medium body and a sustained finish. A wonderful introduction to the up-and-coming world of German Sekt. 

Located in the lower Nahe on a steep south-facing slope, Schlossgut Diel’s esteemed vineyard sites have been documented as early as 1901 as producing wines of exceptional quality. Organic viticulture is practiced as much as the steep slopes permit, and the fruit is either whole cluster pressed or, if the vintage necessitates, destemmed by hand so as not to break skins and warrant oxidation. Fermentation is carried out spontaneously in stückfass, doppelstück, and cement tanks, with small barrels used for the red wines.

The combination of great vineyard sites, dedicated vineyard management and meticulous winemaking has led the winery to receive continued acclaim.
