The Wiltinger Gottesfuß Riesling Alte Reben Großes Gewächs 2023 from Van Volxem is a wine of exceptional intensity and expressiveness, characterized by the old vines of this legendary Saar vineyard site. The nose unfolds with a complex bouquet dominated by ripe citrus fruit, juicy peach, and fresh pineapple. Added to this are delicate floral notes reminiscent of orange blossom and a distinct mineral component reminiscent of cool slate soils and a salty sea breeze.

On the palate, the wine impresses with impressive density and complexity. A lively acidity lends it a vibrant freshness that harmonizes perfectly with the opulent fruit and subtle spice. The texture is creamy yet taut, supported by a deep, almost saline minerality that lends the wine an almost architectural structure. The long, captivating finish is characterized by a fascinating balance of power and finesse, impressively highlighting the character of this special vineyard.

This Riesling is a great wine in the truest sense of the word—a wine with incredible presence, elegance, and ageing potential, combining Van Volxem's signature style with the terroir of the Wiltinger Gottesfuß at the highest level. A highlight for any lover of great Saar Rieslings.
