Saar
Riesling

„The 2018 Saar Riesling offers an aromatic nose that is clear, concentrated and flinty scented with crunchy slate and herbal notes. Impressive! Full-bodied and lush on the first palate, this is a crystalline, refreshing, mineral and well-structured dry Riesling with round and elegant fruit, lingering salinity and a stony lemon flavor. Very good and intensely aromatic, with slate-drive length, this is focused and precise 2018 Saar Riesling at its best.“

„light green-yellow. Intense and complex bouquet with notes of a wet street (after the rain), a hint of herbs. Fine and slightly creamy start. This wine has body and a slow tension, which nevertheless gives freshness. Salty and lively finish. 2020-2030.“

„The 2016 Saar Riesling displays ripe, concentrated fruit with a deep weathered slate aroma. It is warm and herbal rather than cool, as if it came from red, clayey slate. Lush, round and very elegant but also compact on the palate, this 12% alcohol Riesling offers a lot of intensity and mineral expression at this price point. The serious finish is fresh and aromatic and indicates excellent aging potential. I'd recommend cellaring this wine for at least another 3-5 years, since it will leave you with a sense of wonder in several years.“

„Wijn van het Jaar 2018“

„The 2011 Saar Riesling from Van Volxem is pure pleasure, a mouthful of fresh fruit and light spice ... with amazing storage potential. “

„2011 Saar Riesling by Van Volxem - a picture book Estate wine! " Not too much was promised! In fact, the entry-level wine from the Saar flagship estate, Van Volxem, is a real grenade. So not only is it a stunner, but with its 12% it is easy to drink too, yet it brings with it a substance and maturity that is unparalleled in this category. The apricot fruit appears almost surreal, in such a precise and intense expression that it is probably an overexcitement for some, but what you basically have to notice with every sip is this wine’s wonderful consistency: fruit, slate mineral, acid - everything there and in perfect doses. “
