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.
