✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted from the steep, amphitheater-like slopes of the Wolfer Goldgrube, this Riesling Kabinett is a masterclass in Mosel tension and delicacy. The vineyard's name, meaning 'golden pit,' refers to the exceptional sun exposure and the historic value of its wines. Here, ancient, ungrafted Riesling vines dig deep into the weathered grey slate soils. Weingut Vollenweider champions minimal intervention, allowing the natural high acidity and delicate residual sweetness of the Kabinett style to find a perfect, shimmering equilibrium. The wine is characterized by its ethereal lightness, vibrant citrus and stone fruit notes, and a profound, salty mineral finish that reflects its dramatic terroir.
🍾 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.
