✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the amphitheater-like steep slopes of the Wolfer Goldgrube, this Riesling Spätlese represents the pinnacle of the late Daniel Vollenweider's vision. The 'Goldgrube' (or golden pit) is renowned for its weathered grey slate soils and ancient, ungrafted vines that cling to gradients of up to 70 percent. The 'Nr3' designation highlights a specific, highly curated selection or fuder cask that showcases an exceptional balance of luscious residual sweetness and piercing, mineral-driven acidity. Crafted with minimal intervention, wild yeast fermentations, and slow aging, this wine captures the historic soul of the Mosel, offering a sensory journey of exotic stone fruits, wet slate, and wild herbs.
🍾 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.
