Daniel Vollenweider - Riesling Goldgrube 'Aurum' 2018

The Wolfer Goldgrube Riesling Aurum is a legally dry wine (with 7 g/l of residual sugar) made from a selection of the golden berries picked in the oldest parcel of un-grafted vines in the vineyard. It was left on its fine lees for 12 months and will be released commercially in autumn 2019. It offers an attractive nose made of quince, greengage, aniseed herbs, creamy elements and refined spices. The wine is rather full-bodied but remains hugely playful and tactile on the fruity and mineral palate, and leaves a long feel of herbs and fine spices. Despite the intensity, the wine remains incredibly airy and elegant.

Mosel Fine Wines 

“The intensely white-golden colored Wolfer Goldgrube Riesling Aurum is exciting on the nose that displays perfect fruit ripeness along with very fine notes of crushed stones and sweet herbs. Silky, round and perfectly rich, this is a generous but fresh, refined, slatey and salty Goldgrube with a long and already slightly caramelly finish that reveals delicate grip completely intertwined with the salty acidity. This is a gorgeous wine.” Stephan Rheinhardt
