The name Im Schöttel comes from Schüttung, German for scree — a plain description of what this vineyard receives, since a towering rock face directly overhead sheds a steady barrage of stone into it. That gives this parcel of the Wolfer Goldgrube a soil that is extremely stony and dominated by raw grey slate, far poorer than the ground lower down the hill. It also sits higher up the slope and turns more toward the southwest, so it is drier and sunnier than its neighbors, and the cliff radiates back the heat it stored all day well after sundown. The wine that results is denser and more saline than the cooler Unterste Jonpfad parcel but also more generous and effusive, without giving up cool-climate cut. Since 2024 Moritz Hoffmann and Vinzent Ewest have bottled these Goldgrube parcels separately and kept botrytis out of the dry wines entirely. Bone-dry Riesling — Trocken, with no residual sweetness.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
