2024 Weingut Vollenweider, Schimbock Riesling

Weingut Vollenweider, based in the village of Traben-Trarbach, is a prominent producer in the Mosel known for reviving derelict, steep-slope sites through meticulous, organic farming. This Schimbock bottling is sourced from a unique monopol parcel within the Trabener Würzgarten vineyard, featuring old, own-rooted vines planted in iron-rich red slate soils. The resulting wine is defined by its deep, concentrated profile, offering grounded notes of wet stone, citrus pith, and anise with a piercing, saline-driven structure. The 2024 vintage provided a long, cool growing season that favored a fresh, elegant character with well-defined acidity and vibrant fruit aromatics. Given its rigorous structure and inward-looking intensity, this wine is built for the cellar and will gain significant complexity over the next decade.
