Van Volxem Altenberg Alte Reben GG 2021

Tropical highlights mark the 2021 Riesling Kanzemer Altenberg Alte Reben Grosses Gewächs from this warm, majestic site. Passionfruit, pineapple and even mango take turns twinkling and beguiling the nose. The palate is surprisingly juicy at first, all fruit, all flow, all succulence - you almost forget how serious this is when there is so much exuberance. Yet absolute zestiness runs right through this. Exciting, linear, taut, bright, eternally mouth-watering. This holds nothing back yet has deep reserves of pleasure. (Dry)
