✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the legendary, amphitheater-like slopes of the Wolfer Goldgrube, this Spätlese is a testament to the late Daniel Vollenweider's vision of restoring neglected, steep-slope vineyards in the Mosel. The name 'Goldgrube' (gold mine) speaks to the historic value of this site, where ancient, ungrafted Riesling vines cling to weathered blue Devonian slate soils. Crafted using traditional, low-intervention methods, the 'Nr14' bottling represents a specific cask selection that highlights the brilliant interplay of natural residual sweetness and a piercing, mineral-driven acidity. The steepness of the vineyard requires entirely manual cultivation, capturing the pure essence of this unique, sun-drenched river valley 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.
