This wine package – Van Volxem Special – is an exclusive selection of four wines from the renowned German winery Van Volxem, located in the Saar region. With an impressive combination of grape varieties, winemaking styles, and unique vineyards, this package offers a unique glimpse into the finesse and depth for which Van Volxem is internationally renowned.
Van Volxem's vineyards are situated on steep slopes of red and gray slate, on subsoil that is millions of years old. The cool climate of the Saar and the poor, mineral-rich soils create tension, vibrancy, and character in every wine.
A rare Chardonnay from Germany, fermented and aged in oak barrels. The aging on fine lees imparts a creamy texture without losing the crisp acidity. Aromas of apple, citrus, and light toast interplay in a richly layered wine.
