Van Volxem, Goldberg Riesling Grosses Gewachs Brut Zero Black Forest cake and blueberryFrom slightly reddish slate soils, the Wawerner 2015 Goldberg Riesling has a very clear, fine and flinty bouquet of perfectly ripe Riesling fruits. Round, intense and piquant, with a good concentration and a ripe, lush fruit, this is a medium to full bodied, yet finessed and elegantly dry Riesling. It has a crystalline finish and a good, still somewhat bitter and yeasty length. Keep the Goldberg for five more years in case you prefer it less fleshy,
