Community Tasting Notes (2) Avg Score: 89 points

  • color: yellow-green
    pleasant fruity nose; on palate peach and apricot
    well balanced sweetness and acid
    a typical excellent Saar Riesling Kabinett, but untypical for van Volxem (mostly known for their excellent dry wines)

  • Unlike typical Van Volxem Rieslings that are vinified dry, this Kabinett is a made in the classic Feinherb (off-dry) style typical of Mosel. Made from grapes sourced from the slatey vineyard of Wawerner Ritterpfad. Tasted in the Van Volxem 2015 tasting. 9% alcohol.

    Youthful, luminous pale green color. Dull, closed and dusty nose with vague aromas of ripe lemon and some musty hints of damp paper. Medium-sweet, acid-driven with very mineral and fruitless flavors of wet stones and some tangy salinity. Feels mute.

    Most likely a slightly corked bottle: musty nose and no fruit to speak of. The bottle cost 14,90€.
