The Wawern Goldberg Riesling Spätlese 2023 from Weingut Van Volxem originates from the prestigious Wawerner Goldberg vineyard on the Saar, famed for its steep slopes and barren slate soils that impart a singular minerality to the wine. The 2023 vintage delivers ripe aromas of exotic fruits such as mango and pineapple, complemented by notes of citrus and a hint of blossom honey. This Spätlese captivates with its razor-sharp balance between vibrant Saar acidity and an elegant, natural residual sweetness typical of classic Prädikat wines. On the palate, the wine is complex and multi-layered, with crystal-clear fruit definition and a long, harmonious finish. It pairs wonderfully with spicy dishes, Asian cuisine, or fruit-based desserts, and is equally enchanting enjoyed on its own. With this wine, Van Volxem remains true to its philosophy of expressing the Saar terroir in its finest form.
