✨ Technical Specifications
Nestled in a steep, south-facing amphitheater of weathered grey slate along the Mosel, the Wolfer Goldgrube vineyard is the crown jewel of Weingut Vollenweider. This Beerenauslese (BA) 'Nr. 7' is a rare, liquid monument to the late Daniel Vollenweider's vision of restoring neglected, ancient, ungrafted Riesling vines. Crafted only in exceptional vintages, it requires painstaking, berry-by-berry selection of botrytis-affected grapes. The resulting elixir undergoes a slow, cool fermentation, preserving the vibrant, mineral-laden tension that balances its intense, honeyed sweetness. It stands as a masterclass in Mosel's unique ability to marry rich concentration with weightless, electric acidity.
🍾 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.
