2022 Van Volxem Alte Reben Riesling

Roman Niewodniczanski, who took over the domain in 2000 and completely restored it, is part of the Bittburger family. His drive for quality is unstoppable and his aim is to optimally let the various top terroirs (steep mineral-rich slate, sandstone and rhyolite) speak. For this, major investments have been made in the vineyards and the grapes are always picked late and manually in different phases at the end of October/November. Read more under the tab: Winery

The Van Volxem Alte Reben Riesling comes from vineyards on Devonian slate soils with parts of rhyolite or quartz porphyry of volcanic origin. A great dry wine from the steepest slate slopes. It is the perfect ripening of the small berries from 120-year-old vines, on this super location, that allows us to experience the deep, dense, silky texture of this wine.

The Van Volxem Alte Reben Riesling wine consists entirely of the Riesling grape. After a manual harvest, the grapes go into steel tanks for maceration and fermentation. This entire process and storage takes 6 to 7 months, after which the bottling takes place without clarification. The Alte Reben Riesling has an even light yellow color and a rich aroma with ripe fruit, grapefruit, pineapple and orange peel. In the mouth dry fruit flavors such as citrus with a salty hint. Fresh acids and a long aftertaste. Perfect as an aperitif, with fish dishes (not smoked), shellfish, light meat dishes and white poultry, oriental spiced dishes and goat cheese.
