It&#8217;s a Mosel Riesling (actually, from the Saar, which now falls under the Mosel banner), and as with all Van Volxem wines it is not in the Pradikat system: just a single wine is made, and not different levels defined by the must weight (Kabinett, Spaetlese, Auslese, etc.). This is a beautiful expression of Riesling, and great value for money to boot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Van Volxem Saar Riesling 2011 Mosel, Germany<\/strong><br \/>\n12% alcohol. Lively, bracing, pure mineral nose. The palate is dry with lovely\u00a0mineral, citrus, pear and baked apple character. Very precise with a a spicy, mineral core. Generous and ripe but with good acidity and a dry finish. Weighty but precise, showing beautiful poise. 93\/100 (Berry Bros &amp; Rudd, \u00a315.95)<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really like this.
