2020 Vollenweider Kröver Steffensberg Riesling Kabinett
£20.00
“So ripe, so cool and delicate, this simultaneously succulent and vibrant Mosel Kabinett has stunning clarity, thanks to the mineral freshness illuminating everything on the sleek and focused palate. Lightning-bright finish!”
94 Points, James Suckling
“It’s all meadow on the fragrance, grasses, herbs and flowers, a little fresh hay too. Still a little unruly and sherbety, not having been bottled all that long ago, but already very promising with zesty grapefruit, crisp green fruit and peel, tingling spices and just a dash of minerality on the finish.”
17/20 Michael Schmidt for Jancis Robinson MW (Tasted July 2021)

Product Description
Founded in 2000 by daniel vollenweider from graubünden/swiss, with little more than a hectare of grapes in the wolfer goldgrube vineyard and sheer enthusiasm making up for capital. daniel vollenweider and moritz hoffmann have headed the winery jointly since 2019, with the latter continuing the story since 2022.
The mostly unconsolidated parcels are spread across six hectares on the steep moselle slopes. their generally very old, ungrafted riesling vines provide us with dry, sweet, and noble sweet wines belonging among the top of the region‘s produce, impressively demonstrating the potential of the slopes around the traditional wine-trading city traben-trarbach.
We aim for distinct wines which nevertheless show the influences of terroir and vintage. respect for the interconnections of nature with acceptance and understanding for the effects of external factors on the vines is the basis of our work.
The existence of our winery is not a given; especially if standard business criteria had been applied at its founding. thankfully they weren‘t?… thus, passion for crystal clear wines, boldness, a touch of obsession and an unwavering commitment to quality managed what logic and math said was near impossible.
In 2022, much too early, daniel vollenweider passed away. moritz hoffmann, who found his way here from the wine-producing village alf, a bit downstream from traben-trarbach, is driven by the same ideas and by exactly the same sense for the products’ standards. no ifs, ands, or but.
