This Swiss-born surveyor caught the wine bug after a bottle of Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Auslese. A few years later, he moved to the Mosel to become a wine grower. He set his focus on the then completely forgotten Wolfer Goldgrube (more on this fine vineyard later in this article).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThe Wolfer Goldgrube holds center stage at Weingut Vollenweider, and this for good reasons. Daniel holds nearly two-third of the vineyard (4.8 ha from a total of 7.5 ha tended). The Wolfer Goldgrube is quite unique. It forms a small amphitheater much like the Goldtröpfchen in Piesport. The eastern sector of the vineyard (called Jon), on the right of the picture here below, is exposed to the west, while the central part is exposed full south.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinemaker\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eDaniel Vollenweider\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape \/ Blend\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eRiesling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eMosel, Germany\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eWinemaker's Tasting Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis wine was made from the old vines in the Wolfer gold mine. One of the best locations and one of the oldest Traben-Trarbachs vines. As is typical of Vollenweider, even the residual sweet cabinet shows only a little fruit, as always running full on the stone. A little bit of white peach, candied lime zest, but mostly crushed slate stone and mint. Tonic freshness from this herbal stone combination. This insane tension and race that always distinguishes Vollenweider's wines comes through in the mouth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points - Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFrom a west-facing plot, the 2020 Wolfer Goldgrube Riesling Kabinett offers a very clear, bright, refined and precise, pretty reductive bouquet of crushed stones and bright fruits. On the palate, this is a crystalline, fresh, very elegant yet tight and persistency salty Kabinett with drive and grip. A picture-book Kabinett for the long distance. 8.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domain in October 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eProduct size: 750ml\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merchant of Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39559014481962,"sku":"","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/0441\/0666\/files\/Weingut-Daniel-Vollenweider-Wolfer-Goldgrube-Riesling-Kabinett-Mosel-Germany-2020.jpg?v=1762528006","url":"https:\/\/marchantofwine.com\/products\/2020-vollenweider-goldgrube-kabinett","provider":"Merchant of Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
