Why We Love It:

Allow us to introduce you to Daniel Vollenweider – a true magician of the Mosel. Daniel has burst onto to the German wine scene with a bang – rolling out release after release of modern, delicious German Riesling. Quickly, this estate is becoming one of the most important addresses in the Mosel with a collection of outstanding, collectible and incredible delicious wines. Like liquid sunshine, these Riesling offer up incredible intensity, minerality, complexity and aging potential. No serious Germany wine collection is complete without a few bottles from Daniel Vollenweider.

Daniel’s recipe for success contains a short list of ingredient: very old vines, privileged terroirs in the best exposures along the meandering Mosel, modern winemaking practices ensuring super fresh and clean wines, and an unrelenting love affair with the Riesling grape – Daniel’s passion and love for these wines shines brightly in each bottle adorning his name. From his incredibly drinkable and delicious Kabinett, right through to some of the most glorious, unctuous and impressive Auslese, B.A. & T.B.A. wines we’ve seen anywhere.

Tasting Notes:

“From partly 50+-year-old vines in several terroirs of the Goldgrube, fermented on the lees for 18 months and finished with 15 grams of residual sugar, the 2018 Wolfer Riesling is precise, coolish and flinty on the stony yet beautifully intense nose. Juicy, round and refined on the palate, this is a medium-bodied yet intense, lush and silky-textured Riesling with fascinating lingering salinity and delicate slate astringency. This is beautifully balanced and shows terrific today, just a month after the bottling. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.”
