Production of the Riesling trocken 1.0l by A. Diehl

The grapes for this Riesling come from select vineyards in the Palatinate. The climate here is characterized by abundant sunshine, warm days, and cool nights. These temperature differences intensify the aromas of apricot, mirabelle plum, and peach, giving the wine its firm freshness. The soils consist of a varied mix of loess, clay, and partly calcareous layers, which lend the Riesling delicate minerality and clarity.

The A. Diehl winery places great emphasis on careful vineyard work. The grapes remain on the vines as long as possible to achieve optimum ripeness and concentrated aromas. Harvesting is carried out in a controlled and selective manner so that only fully ripe berries reach the cellar. Gentle processing preserves the variety’s characteristic aromas. The must ferments under temperature control in stainless steel tanks, keeping the fresh fruit profile at the forefront.

Maturation in stainless steel emphasizes the modern, clear style of the Diehl estate. Oak is deliberately kept in the background so that the Riesling grape can reveal all its facets in an unadulterated form. After fermentation, the wine remains on its fine lees for some time, lending the mouthfeel a delicate creaminess and additional fullness. The Diehl winemaking family follows a straightforward, authentic style: clear fruit, precise acidity, high drinkability, and dependable quality from the Palatinate.
