TN: 2019 Vollenweider Kröver Steffensberg Riesling Spätlese

I have been following Vollenweider from the very start. The wines were available in the Boston area from the very beginning, and despite a couple of gaps in availability since then I have bought the wines as often as possible. This bottling, the first I have had not from the Goldgrube vineyard, is classically Vollenweider, with great richness, and also great depth. It’s unapologetically sweet, so lay it down for decades if that scares you. I’m happy to open a bottle or two young, and enjoy the decadence of youth. It’s a weighted blanket of a wine, all comfort and serenity. Time will shed some of the baby fat, and more of the core will show through, but for now it’s all about luscious pleasure.
