Van Volxem's Scharzhofberger Pergentsknopp Riesling Großes Gewächs 2023 is a masterpiece of precision and complexity, reflecting the legendary site and its unique charisma in every detail. The nose opens with an elegant interplay of yellow fruits, juicy vineyard peach, ripe apricot, and a delicate hint of lime. These are joined by floral notes of chamomile and elderflower, embedded in a striking minerality reminiscent of crushed slate and fresh spring rock.

On the palate, the Pergentsknopp delights with a clear, almost crystalline structure, supported by perfectly integrated acidity that makes the wine appear lively and focused. The fruit aromas are accompanied by a subtle spice reminiscent of white pepper and fennel seeds, while the mineral intensity carries a salty elegance into the long, dynamic finish. The wine is powerful yet delicate, dense yet weightless, a balanced dance between concentration and transparency.

This Riesling epitomizes the magnificence of the Scharzhofberg vineyard and Van Volxem's craftsmanship. A great wine that will gain complexity and depth with each passing year and already offers a stunning experience for connoisseurs of the highest Riesling art.
