Tasting notes
The 2014 Scharzhofberger Riesling P from the Pergentsknopp parcel (AP #17) opens with a deep, intense and elegant bouquet of concentrated Riesling, yellow-skinned apples and pink grapefruit aromas. Full-bodied, complex and very elegant on the palate, with finesse, purity and a long and spicy finish, this is an expressively dry but rich Riesling with a long and persistent finish. Very good aging potential.

This bottling from the high-elevation Pergentsknopp section of the Scharzhofberg now indicates that more specific vineyard name on its back label. Flowers and greenery mingle in the nose with intimations of a more colorful and obviously ripe array of fruits than in the other van Volxem 2014s: pineapple and quince join succulent peach and brightly juicy grapefruit on a lush palate, reinforced by judicious residual sugar not noticeable as outright sweetness. Green herbal essences, almond extract and peach kernel piquancy add allure in a long finish underlain by wet stone.
