The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
The Van Volxem Riesling Schonfels GG is a beautiful rendition of the Riesling grape, sourced from the renowned Schonfels site in the Saarburg Fuchs vineyard. This exceptional wine reflects the heritage and expertise of the Van Volxem winery, located in Germany's historic Mosel region. Van Volxem is known for its dedication to quality and its innovative approach to winemaking, combining traditional techniques with modern insights. The Schonfels vineyard, with its steep southeastern slopes, offers the perfect conditions for the Riesling grapes to ripen and develop their characteristically intense aromas, so characteristic of this premium wine.
Van Volxem's Riesling Schonfels GG reveals a delicate and floral aroma, rich with notes of peach, apricot, almond, pear, plum, and lime. These aromas herald the complexity and depth this wine has to offer. On the palate, the wine is captivated by the depth of ripe fruit, complemented by elegant spices and herbs. After some time to breathe, creamy aromas unfold, leading to a dry finish that lingers long and memorable. This layering makes Riesling Schonfels GG a true experience, one that continues to evolve and surprise with every sip.
This exquisite Riesling is the perfect accompaniment to refined dishes such as asparagus, light meat dishes, and even elaborate oriental meals. The freshness and complexity of the wine cut through the richness of the dishes, while the aromatic profiles of both wine and food enhance each other. Serve this Riesling chilled, around 8-10°C, to allow its full aromas and flavors to unfold. Whether you are a connoisseur or a casual white wine lover, the Van Volxem Riesling Schonfels GG promises an unforgettable experience that exemplifies Van Volxem's rich tradition and craftsmanship.
