Van Volxem's Kanzemer Altenberg Riesling Alte Reben Großes Gewächs 2023 is a prime example of the elegance and depth that the Mosel region can produce. The nose unfolds with a complex bouquet of ripe citrus fruits, white peach, and a hint of exotic mango, underscored by a mineral smokiness reminiscent of wet slate. Subtle herbal notes such as lemon balm and a hint of thyme add further nuance.

On the palate, the wine is taut yet smooth, carried by a precise, vibrant acidity that lends it an almost weightless elegance. The intense fruit aromas are reflected, complemented by a salty minerality that impressively expresses the terroir of the Kanzemer Altenberg. The long, harmonious finish is characterized by a subtle spiciness and an invigorating freshness that makes the wine appear youthful yet timeless.

This Riesling is a masterpiece of structure and balance, a wine that captivates with its vitality in youth and will gain depth and refinement with age. A great wine for great moments, perfectly combining Van Volxem's signature style and the uniqueness of his vineyard.
