✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted only in exceptional vintages when nature grants the perfect alignment of autumn mist and warm sunshine, the Wolfer Goldgrube Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA) represents the absolute pinnacle of sweet winemaking. The historic Wolfer Goldgrube vineyard, with its dizzyingly steep slopes of weathered grey slate and ancient, ungrafted Riesling vines, provides the dramatic stage. Here, individual berries affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) are painstakingly selected by hand, berry by berry, over multiple passes through the vineyard. The resulting nectar is fermented slowly in the cool cellars, yielding a wine of monumental concentration, where luscious honeyed sweetness, exotic stone fruit, and botrytis spice are brilliantly counterbalanced by the Mosel's signature, electric, slate-driven acidity.
🍾 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.
