2022 Vollenweider - Wolfer Riesling Trocken

The so called entry level Enderle & Moll Pinot lovingly called “Basis”: nearly 50-year-old vines planted on the two predominant soil types in Baden: colored sandstone and shell limestone. The palate has a snap of cherry and cranberry piquancy – mild tannins and pleasantly friendly.

The 2022er Goldgrube Riesling, as it is referred to on the consumer label, is a bone-dry wine made from fruit harvested on up to 120-year-old un- grafted vines and was left for 1 year on its gross lees. It has a beautifully and finely reductive and very herbal nose of minty thyme, rosemary, white pepper, spearmint, flintstone, and other wild herbs, before showing fine scents of white flowers and lime tree. The wine starts off on a slightly round and creamy side, yet an acidic backbone clearly comes through and leads to a straight and quite spicy long finish. This defies the richer side of the 2022 vintage and proves superbly refined and playful. The aftertaste is all about smoke and white flowers and proves bone-dry in taste.

 First – how awesome to see another “Kabinett Feinherb.” What can we say; we love the genre. This is the magic of Ludes: a finely knit tapestry of flowers, minerals, spice. The wine is angelic, light-footed, soaring, nearly illuminated – the laws of gravity do not apply. This is spirit as much as liquid. A little drier and also less acid than the Kabinett Monster.

-Importer notes (Vom Boden)

This wine is so good; it tastes like mineral water filtered through your flower garden. Mosel Fine Wines gave it 91 points which is basically like 239 points to most reviewers.
