smooth and un-heavy Grenache made by the talented crew behind Envinate

from multiple parcels in the heart of Volnay facing southeast on clay-limestone — parcels that sit directly against Les Mitans

Notes of apple

and tobacco leaf on the nose

and limestone soils in the Bray area of the Mâconnais — fermented and aged in large used barrels — with the freshness and concentration of an extremely low-yield vintage that Théo Dancer himself compares to 2021

2017 Vollenweider Riesling Krover Steffensberg Spatlese Vom Boden smooth and un-heavy Grenache madeNearly a decade in bottle, this is Mosel Riesling at the threshold of its prime. The Steffensberg is restrained and distinguished by a fine, almost herby piquancy, now deepening beautifully into honeyed complexity, petrol, and preserved lemon, underpinned by crystalline, persistently salty minerality and laser beam acidity. Patience has been rewarded magnificently. Pair with Foie gras, roast pork with apples, or spiced Asian cuisine.
