About the Winery:
Schloss Vollrads is the oldest continually run winery in the world, with a noble history in the wine trade dating to the year 1211. Located along the storied banks of Germany’s Rhine River valley, the estate draws on 200 acres of vines, planted exclusively to Riesling. Its ancient vineyards rise from the river on south-facing hillsides whose pitches range from gentle to dizzyingly steep, with slopes of up to 70 percent. Due to their superb terroirs, more than a quarter of the domaine’s holdings claim a Grosses Gewächs (Grand Cru) designation. These outstanding vineyards, and the talents of distinguished winemaker Dr. Rowald Hepp, result in brilliant Rieslings of crystalline purity and complexity.
Tasting Notes:
This Riesling impresses with a full fruity aroma of yellow apples, vineyard peaches and white blossoms. With its well-balanced play of sweetness and acidity, this wine is a real pleasure to drink and the right flow. Tastes great on its own or with spicy, hot dishes.
A suitable addition to both spicy Asian dishes and mild blue cheese. Well chilled, it also delights as an aperitif.

89 Points - Wine Enthusiast:"A tactile start to this spätlese gives the sense of freshness, as the vibrant acidity takes over bringing out flavors of lemon parfait and custard. - AZ (May 2023)
