🏰 The 2018 Van Volxem Gottesfuss Alte Reben Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is a premium quality dessert wine from the Saar region of Germany. This wine is crafted from Riesling grapes grown in the esteemed Gottesfuß vineyard, with the 'Alte Reben' designation signifying grapes from exceptionally old vines, some reportedly 120 years old, which contribute significantly to its depth and complexity.

Other aromatic notes include peach, apple, lemon, and tropical fruits, alongside earthy and mineral undertones.

It's described as dense, silky, long, and concentrated, with its profound taste experienced primarily through its texture and structure. 【 A lusciously sweet Trockenbeerenauslese from 120-year-old Riesling vines, offering immense depth and aging potential. 】 🍴 This exquisite wine is best enjoyed as a dessert wine.
