Winery - Schloss Vollrads
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The ancient estate of Schloss Vollrads dates at least from 1211, when it was already producing wine. The general style of the wines today is uncomplex. This example has powerful aromas of botrytis, flavors of baked apples, with a touch of spice. But there’s good acidity to balance. —R.V.

Zesty and fresh, with notes of green plums and grass leading to palate of lemon meringue and pineapple. Finishes sweet but well balanced, with a nice stone fruit accent. A good crowd-pleaser at a fair price.

Seems slightly disjointed, with pungent diesel aromas on one hand and sweet-tart melon and pear flavors on the other. It’s atypically broad in the mouth for Riesling, almost fat, yet closes on a tangy, earthy note. Imported by Schmitt-Sohne Inc.

Rich and unctuous, but not a simple fruit-bomb of concentrated fruit, there’s also great minerality and some kerosene. Apple, peach kernel and baking spice flavors end on a honeyed note.

A soft, fruity, easy-to-drink wine, with notes of peach, tropical fruit and melon that make for a simple, satisfying drink, not an intellectually stimulating one.

Generous, with a distinct pine character and tangy passion fruit flavors framing the medium-bodied palate. Exotic, medium finish of curry leaf and lemon curd. Drink now.

This wine’s high acidity provides balance for the wine’s intense sweetness, imparting a racy quality to the long, lemony finish. Aromas and flavors of “yellow” fruits–pineapple, citrus and quince–predominate.

In an interesting twist, this wine actually seems lighter and crisper than the kabinett, pairing peach, apple and pear flavors with a minerally finish that still retains the vintage’s inherent softness.

This full-bodied, mostly dry Riesling features a rich, layered texture and a spicy finish. Slightly floral notes add nuance to solid pear, melon and mineral flavors.

Plump, medium-weight kabinett that features aromas of peach and apple blossom and flavors of peach and mango. Finishes a bit tart, giving it a nice sense of balance.
