Description
Roman Niewodniczanski, who took over the domain in 2000 and completely restored it, is part of the Bittburger family. His drive for quality is unstoppable and his aim is to optimally let the various top terroirs (steep mineral-rich slate, sandstone and rhyolite) speak. For this, major investments have been made in the vineyards and the grapes are always picked late and manually in different phases at the end of October/November. Read more under the tab: Winery
The 2021 Van Volxem Schonfels Riesling Grosses Gewächs (GG) is a remarkable wine from the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region in Germany. The Schonfels vineyard is located in the Saar Valley and is known for its steep slopes and slate soils, which contribute to the unique minerality and freshness of the wines.
This Van Volxem Schonfels Riesling GG shows a delicate, floral scent with notes of peach, apricot, almond, pear, plum and lime. The wine shows depth and ripe fruit with additions of spices and herbs. When oxygen is added it shows creamy aromas and a dry aftertaste that lingers in your mouth for a long time. This wine goes excellent with asparagus, light meat dishes and oriental food.
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will often also receive a nice discount. You will see your discount immediately when you choose 'Pick up' on the checkout page. We are located in Dordrecht almost next to the A16 with plenty of parking. Click here for our address.

Dressed, like all the 2020s from VV, in a radiant lemon color that already represents the precision and vitality of the 2020s from this domain, the 2020 Schonfels GG offers a deep, intense yet precise and elegant nose of perfectly ripe and selected Riesling berries intermixed with finely slatey tones that build up for a complex and sensual unity that is more open than all the other crus here. Very delicate and frisky on the palate, this is a lush and round, salty-piquant, very intense and long Schonfels that reveals well-dosed power and a certain sweetness that is more hedonistic than the purity of the Wiltinger and Kanzemer Rieslings. Tasted in Wiesbaden in August 2021.
