2017 Wiltingen VOLZ Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken Van Volxem, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2017 Wiltingen VOLZ Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, Van Volxem

The 2017 Wiltingen Volz Riesling GG offers delicate and slatey ripe Riesling fruit with floral aromas. On the palate, this is a very pure and citrus-fresh dry Riesling with good concentration and a charming touch of sweetness yet also a somewhat austere character. The finish is intense and structured but still edgy and somewhat drying. Tasted from AP #13 in June 2019. - Stephan Reinhardt, Aug. 2019

Mosel Fine Wines - 2017 Wiltingen VOLZ Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, Van Volxem

The 2017er Wiltinger Volz GG comes from the similarly named former single-vineyard classified in the highest category on the taxation maps in the 19th century and which is part of the Wiltinger Braunfels. This offers a gorgeous even if still hugely reduced nose made of greengage, herbs and spices, but above all minerals. The mineral side also defines the palate, which lives at this stage from its structure more than its flavors. The balance and precision in the lemon and mineral-infused finish is remarkable. This needs a couple of years to fully blossom. 2022-2032+. - Okt. 2018

Vinous - 2017 Wiltingen VOLZ Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, Van Volxem

Crushed stone, lemon zest, apple seed and coriander seed on the nose anticipate the pungency and sense of mineral suffusion conveyed on a firm, buoyant but palpably extract-rich palate. The seriously sustained finish veritably sizzles in its invigorating alliance of coriander, black pepper and citrus zest, but fortunately also conveys welcome primary juiciness. - David Schildknecht, Okt. 2019
