Van Volxem - Riesling Spatlese Bockstein 2018 (moelleux)
94/100
James Suckling
“Authentic, mineral, elegant, and radiating precision!”
“There is a lovely herbal edge to this Spätlese, suggesting green paprika, white pepper, and garlic. At the same time, the citrus notes are powerful and pure. The medium sweetness has an oily, soapy quality, while the acidity is taut, elegant, and structured. The finish is long and subtle. Drink now. ” (James Suckling 2019)

About the wine:
This Spätlese has a lovely herbal edge, evoking green paprika, white pepper, and garlic. At the same time, the citrus notes are powerful and pure. The medium sweetness has an oily, soapy quality, while the acidity is taut, elegant, and structured. The finish is long and subtle. Best enjoyed now.
