Van Volxem Altenberg Alte Reben Großes Gewächs Riesling (2010)

Zusätzliche Information

Vinee Beschreibung und Bewertung

93/100 PP

'The stony mineral and piquantly nutty elements present in so many of this year´s Van Volxem offerings are only enhanced when it comes to the ancient-vines 2010 Kanzemer Altenberg Riesling Alte Reben, but so is citricity, to the point where this seems electrically-charged. Mint and green tea remind me a bit of the herbal side that comes out in so many Scharzhofberger of this vintage, while iris and hedge flowers add allure. A satin-textured and rich though vivacious palate impression leads to a clarion, vibratory finishing flavor interaction of floral, herbal, citrus, nut oil, and mineral notes. I would anticipate at least 12-15 years of excitement. Interestingly, at 11.8%, this is slightly lower in alcohol than the other non-sweet wines in the present collection, which are in the lower 12s.'

'Der Montrachet von der Saar! So wie der berühmteste aller Weißweine aus Burgund betritt dieses Elixier von Riesling aristokratisch und zugleich feurig lebendig die Bühne und kleidet jeden noch so kleinen Winkel Ihres Mundraums mit Nachhall aus.'
(Weingut Van Volxem)

'Wow - einfach  nur wow! Die Weine begeistern, faszinieren, machen fast sprachlos. Großes Kino!'
(Gault Millau Weinguide Deutschland 2018)

'I was blown off my feet by its energy and concentration. Wonderfully well balanced and exciting.'
