The balance and freshness of a Moselle white wine
The property
Originally a monastery, the estate acquired in the 18th century by the Van Volxem family was bought by Roman Niewodniczanski in 2000, with the ambition to perpetuate the tradition of excellence in the production of great Moselle wines. The Van Volxem estate is located near the famous Egon Müller estate, in the heart of Wiltingen, one of the first strongholds of Saar viticulture, in Germany. With their elegance and aromatic richness, the estate's cuvées are among the greatest white wines in the world.
The vineyard
Van Volxem oversees an exceptional terroir located on the banks of the Saar, in Germany, whose soils and cool climate provide an aromatic palette and intensity that define the singular style of the estate. Managed manually with respect for the environment and following the precepts of organic farming, the vineyard, part of which is ungrafted, yields a deliberately limited output in order to retain only the optimally mature and quality berries.
The wine
This Altenberg Alte Reben Riesling Grosses Gewächs from Van Volxem is a Moselle wine made from old vines planted at 250 metres altitude in the municipality of Kanzem. The residual sugar content in this white wine is 8.9 g/l.
Vinification and ageing
The grapes harvested manually between late October and early November undergo fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The ageing is carried out in stainless steel tanks and casks.
Blend
Riesling (100%).
