✨ Technical Specifications
The Wolfer Goldgrube, or 'golden pit' of Wolf, is a legendary steep-slope vineyard in the Mosel, famed for its weathered grey slate soils and ancient, ungrafted Riesling vines. Weingut Vollenweider's Spätlese Goldkapsel Nr7 represents an extraordinary expression of this historic terroir. Crafted from meticulously hand-harvested grapes, often with a selection of noble botrytis, this wine is fermented naturally in traditional cellars. The 'Goldkapsel' designation denotes a reserve bottling of superior concentration, where the intense natural sweetness of late-harvested fruit is brilliantly balanced by the Mosel's signature electric acidity and deep, smoky minerality.
🍾 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.
