Van Volxem - Wiltinger Riesling Auslese 1893 - 0,7 l

Van Volxem Wiltinger Riesling Auslese 1893 is an exceptionally rare historic Mosel wine, produced from meticulously selected, fully ripe Riesling grapes from the renowned Wiltinger Schlangengraben vineyard. With its remarkable age and limited availability, this 0.7-litre bottle is a compelling choice for collectors and enthusiasts of mature German wines.

Tasting Notes
The wine is described as golden in colour, with an intense, mature bouquet of ripe peach, apricot and honey. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, combining refined sweetness with lively acidity and a subtle mineral character. The finish is long and lingering. As a wine from 1893, its condition and drinking experience will depend greatly on provenance and storage; it is best regarded as a historic collector’s bottle with considerable rarity rather than assessed solely by modern aging expectations.

Production
The wine originates from the Wiltinger Schlangengraben in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region, a site known for its steep vineyard landscape and mineral-rich soils. As an Auslese, it was made from hand-selected, exceptionally ripe grapes. Further details regarding the precise harvesting, vinification and maturation methods are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, at approximately 8–10°C, either as a contemplative aperitif or alongside fruit-based desserts, apricot tart, crème brûlée and mild blue cheese. Given its extraordinary age, decanting should be approached with caution: stand the bottle upright before opening and, if necessary, pour gently off any sediment shortly before serving. This bottle is also particularly suited to a special tasting or collector’s occasion.

Producer
Van Volxem is associated with the historic wine culture of the Saar, one of Germany’s most distinguished Riesling areas. The estate is closely linked with the steep vineyards around Wiltingen and is known for highlighting the region’s depth, elegance and mineral character. Specific historical and production details relating to this 1893 bottling are not available.
