Well, it’s nice to be wrong sometimes, specially when it’s to your benefit! I have waned on these wines a little bit, as I’ve had to mix results… I pulled this with low expectations, boy was I surprised! This has a perfect trocken presentation, in a sense were it dulls a little bit, gains a flinty ever so slight pistachio trait, while still retaining its acidity, plenty of fruit, and begged you to drink more. I love when trocken wines are on. I also get some traits of dried flowers, flint reduction, and almost an aged Burgundy texture. Truly a nice Riesling from Van Volxem.

Darker yellow --- Nose yellow stone fruit, sea breeze, some sweetness, dried apple --- Palate fresh, captivating, some sweetness, wonderful tasty acidity, nice tartness, dried apples, citrus notes --- Finishes on its nice tartness, fruity. Very balanced, tasty, just delicious.
