Description

2019 Riesling, Altenberg, Alte Reben, Grosses Gewächs, Van Volxem, Mosel, GermanyFrom the GG plot, the 2019 Altenberg Riesling Auslese is very clear and fresh on the intense and concentrated nose that reveals tonic lime aromas. Round and intense on the palate, this is a very elegant, fresh, piquant and lemon flavoured Auslese with a generous texture but great precision. This is rich and creamy but piquant and crystalline. It's a gorgeous 2019. Drink 2026 2060 Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate (April 2021)

The bouquet is very pretty

and rosemary

the wine is aged entirely in (30% new) demi-muids before being moved to stainless steel tanks – ensuring the wine remains vivacious and reflects its terroir

up to the walls of Bolgheri’s medieval hamlet

Maybe this is going through a sultry phase

A little bit of patience here will be key

with black fruit at its core and floral aromas of violets and lavender followed by a soft smokiness with layers of olive tapenade and dust-covered black raspberry
