This 2016 Riesling Großes Gewächs from Schloss Vollrads represents the pinnacle of Rheingau dry Riesling, where the estate's centuries-old vineyards yield wines of mineral precision and aristocratic restraint. The wine displays the characteristic slate-driven minerality and citrus complexity that define this terroir, with the ripe vintage providing subtle ripeness whilst maintaining the acidity and structure essential to the variety's ageing potential. At 13 percent alcohol, the wine achieves remarkable balance between fruit expression and structural discipline. Serve this alongside oysters, Dover sole, or aged Comté cheese to appreciate its refined palate and lingering finish.
