2021 Old Vine Riesling, dry, 12% vol., Van Volxem

A great dry wine from great locations. It is the perfectly ripened small berries from up to 120-year-old vines on the steepest slate slopes that result in a dense, deep and silky texture. The all-pervasive, almost salty minerality creates an arc of tension between profound concentration and challenging freshness in this valuable wine. Starting from a warm, inner core, the scent of pineapple, ripe red grapefruit and fine orange notes unfolds in the large glass. This fragrance culminates in a seductive, multi-faceted play that makes great wine come alive with an aftertaste.
