2019 "Altenberg" Alte Reben, Riesling trocken GG, Weingut VAN VOLXEM

Weingut VAN VOLXEM:
Graue Devonschieferverwitterungsböden mit hohen Anteilen an sehr grobem Rhyolith vulkanischen Ursprungs. 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.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
The 2019 Altenberg Alte Reben GG opens clear, fresh and intense on the seriously concentrated, deep, complex and thoroughly terroir-driven bouquet that exhibits lemon chutney aromas intertwined with finely weathered, crushed and flinty slate aromas—absolutely fascinating! Round, fresh and piquant, even frisky or playful but also perfectly fine and juicy, this is a crystalline, pure and noble dry Riesling from the spectacular, steep Altenberg, a parcel next to von Hövel's Hörecker, which was cultivated by the Bischöfliche Weingüter until 2002. More and more, Roman Niedwodniczanski and his genius winemaker Dominik Völk are establishing this grand cru vineyard among the Mosel's finest dry Rieslings. The 2019 is definitely one of the finest I have tasted from here. The finish is tight, intense and very long, and it promises enormous aging potential. A great wine.
