It's practically an extension of the Ockfener Bockstein, but due to its unique soil structure and excellent water supply, it's considered one of the best vineyards in the Saar region.  Once cultivated by the best producers of the time, the wines produced here achieved top prices at auctions and were among the most expensive wines in the world, comparable to the fine wines from the famous Scharzhofberg. After the end of the 1980s, this cool location was increasingly abandoned because it is frost-prone, extremely steep, and therefore difficult to cultivate. It took a visionary like Roman Niewodniczanski of the Van Volxem winery to revive this unique terroir. Since 2022, Van Volxem has held the monopoly on the 12-hectare area, including 2 hectares of old vines. Since 2020, the first vintage, Van Volxem has produced two wines – Kabinett and Kabinett Versteigerung. From 2023, the range will be expanded to include further wines such as Geisbock, Beerenauslese and perhaps even a Großes Gewächs (GG). Here we present the third vintage of the fruit-sweet Kabinett from this special location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Highly mineral nose, incredibly cool and precise with ripe citrus fruits like grapefruit and yuzu, some yellow stone fruit, and distinctly herbaceous notes reminiscent of ginger and lemon balm.  With some air, the cool, smoky notes gradually fade, revealing more and more floral notes, suggesting violets and white lilac. This incredible complexity continues seamlessly on the palate. The wine also presents itself as quite cool, incredibly refined and perfectly balanced, with a noble texture, a densely woven, mineral backbone, focused acidity and delicate fruit sweetness with a long, multifaceted finish. Without a doubt, a top-class wine with high aging potential!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"vinothek-saar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56728247894402,"sku":"12614H","price":67.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/6417\/1561\/files\/VanVolxem-geissbergkabinett-1.png?v=1703969645","url":"https:\/\/vinothek-der-saar.de\/en\/products\/van-volxem-geisberg-riesling-kabinett-goldkapsel-versteigerung-2024","provider":"Vinothek der Saar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
