The Ockfener Bockstein Riesling Großes Gewächs 2023 from Van Volxem impressively combines elegance and expressiveness. The aromatic profile is characterized by a delicate floral note reminiscent of white blossoms, accompanied by ripe citrus fruits, juicy pear, and a hint of green apple. A subtle hint of exotic passion fruit and the typical mineral notes of the Devonian slate give the wine a fascinating depth.

On the palate, the Ockfener Bockstein presents a delicate texture and a precise, lively acidity that perfectly balances the fruit flavors. The mineral component becomes even more pronounced here, lending the wine a vibrant tension underpinned by a fine, creamy texture. The finish is long and complex, with a subtle spiciness and a clear, saline freshness that lingers.

This Riesling is a prime example of the finesse and complexity that the Bockstein vineyard can produce as a Große Lage. A wine with great potential that will impress with its development on the palate both now and in the years to come. Perfect for discerning connoisseurs who appreciate the symbiosis of origin and craftsmanship.
