✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the gravity-defying, amphitheater-like slopes of the Wolfer Goldgrube, this Riesling Spätlese Nr. 2 is a testament to the late Daniel Vollenweider's devotion to reclaiming the Mosel's forgotten, steep-slope treasures. The 'Goldgrube' (gold mine) vineyard is renowned for its weathered grey slate soils and ancient, ungrafted vines that dig deep into the bedrock. The 'Nr. 2' bottling represents a specific, highly curated selection of fruit, capturing a sublime tension between luscious natural residual sweetness and a piercing, mineral-driven acidity. Fermented slowly with native yeasts in neutral oak fuders and stainless steel, this wine embodies the classic Mosel archetype: feather-light on the palate yet intensely aromatic, vibrating with notes of stone fruit, wet slate, and white blossoms.
🍾 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.
