Van Volxem Goldberg Riesling 2016 (94 WA)
“The 2016 Goldberg Riesling displays an intense and perfectly ripe stone fruit bouquet along with very fine (red) slate aromas. Crystalline, fresh and pretty dry but nevertheless lush and aromatic on the palate, this is a tight
yet elegant and remarkably fine Goldberg with vital acidity and purity in the piquant, mouthwatering finish. It’s the finest dry Goldberg I have tasted from Van Volxem so far (March 2018).”

This Grand Cru site is marked by a distinctive red slate that brings an almost smoky minerality. Notes of white pepper, and dried herbs accompany ripe stone fruit in this uniquely complex bottling.

Located in the historic center of Wiltingen in the Saar Valley, the Van Volxem winery dates back to Roman times. The vineyards date back to the 3rd century, and the traces of the original villa remain to this day. Gustav van Volxem purchased the property in the wake of the French Revolution, which ended generations of monastic control. Gustav was a true visionary, and recognized the potential of his spectacular vineyard sites. The estate gained international acclaim over the four generations of Van Volxem family stewardship that followed Gustav. In 2000, Roman Niewodniczanski purchased the property and embarked on an ambitious program to revive the prestige of German Riesling, which a century before commanded higher prices than the top estates of Burgundy or Bordeaux.
