Daniel Vollenweider purchased a small, one-hectare plot of vines in the once-famous Wolfer Goldgrube. This is prime Middle Mosel real-estate, a site with historic fame. The Goldgrube also happens to have a genetic gold mine of old, un-grafted vines up to and beyond 80 years old.  The winemaking philosophy is as simple as it gets, there are no short cuts, no compromises. The estate is 100% Riesling and 100% steep vineyards awash with slate. The work is all done by hand and the vinification is as hands-off as possible. That’s it.  Nervy, fresh, crushed rocks, stone fruit and the perfect amount of sweetness. 

Pairing: Thai, crudo, Aisan Cuisine 

Grape: Riesling 

Viticulture: No synthetic chemicals, minimal intervention
