✨ Technical Specifications
Nestled in a dramatic, amphitheater-like curve of the Mosel river, the Wolfer Goldgrube vineyard is a legendary site of weathered grey slate where Weingut Vollenweider crafts its most sublime nectar. The Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA) Nr9 is an extraordinary, ultra-rare sweet wine born from the painstaking, berry-by-berry selection of shriveled, botrytis-affected Riesling grapes. Daniel Vollenweider's legacy is deeply etched into these steep, ungrafted old vines, which yield a wine of breathtaking tension. It masterfully balances opulent, honeyed sweetness with a piercing, electric acidity and a profound, smoky slate minerality that speaks directly of its dramatic 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.
