✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the steep, sun-drenched slopes of the Kröver Steffensberg vineyard, this Riesling Kabinett is a masterclass in Mosel tension and elegance. The Steffensberg site is characterized by its deep, weathered grey slate soils with iron-rich veins, which impart a distinct, smoky minerality and structural complexity to the wine. Weingut Vollenweider treats these historic plots with immense respect, utilizing manual labor on the precipitous slopes and minimal intervention in the cellar. The Kabinett style crafted here is traditional and feather-light, defined by a delicate dance between natural residual sweetness and a piercing, electric acidity. It offers a sensory journey of white peach, crisp green apple, elderflower, and wet stone, embodying the cool-climate brilliance of the Middle Mosel.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1999 by Swiss native Daniel Vollenweider, Weingut Vollenweider is based in Traben-Trarbach in Germany's celebrated Mosel valley. Without family land or inherited infrastructure, Vollenweider dedicated himself to reviving neglected, century-old ungrafted vines clinging to the dramatic, slate-rich amphitheater of the Wolfer Goldgrube. Through meticulous, hands-on cultivation of these extreme steep slopes and traditional, low-intervention cellar work, the estate became a beacon of pure Mosel expression. Today, Weingut Vollenweider is internationally revered for its crystalline, mineral-laden Rieslings, particularly its legendary, highly collectible Auslese and Goldkapsel dessert wines.
