Product Description
The slate and lemon-flavoured 2012 Kanzemer Altenberg Riesling Alte Reben offers the clearest, most precise and delicate bouquet of the vintage at van Volxem leading to a full-bodied, lovely intense and juicy but also racy and piquant, lime and grapefruit-flavoured palate that I often miss in 2012. This is a very elegant, intense and full-flavoured wine with a very good length, piquancy and aging potential. Quite powerful, but still elegant.

Product details
A great dry Saar Riesling from Grosse Lagen, or great sites! It’s the loose bunches of perfectly ripe, small berries from up to 120-year-old vines in the steepest slate slopes, which give us this concentration, depth, and silky texture.
