Spätlese here is not a dry wine: it is picked riper than the Kabinett and bottled in the classic fruity style, with real residual sugar and low alcohol, so buy it knowing you are getting sweetness held in check by very high acidity. Vollenweider draws it from different parcels of the Wolfer Goldgrube depending on what the year demands — the cooler western sections in warm vintages, the south-facing sites in cool ones — and always from own-rooted vines, which is rare anywhere and gives the wine its layered, low-yielding depth. 2025 brought a mild winter and an early, compressed growing season, warm days and unusually cool August nights, then September rain that rewarded whoever picked fastest; it was Germany's smallest harvest since 2010, with small thick-skinned berries and acidity as firm as 2024's or firmer. That combination of ripeness and tension is exactly what a Mosel Spätlese wants. Delicious right now in its primary-fruit phase, and structured enough to reward decades in the cellar.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast pork with crackling, Sichuan mapo tofu, Thai green curry, duck with plums, or blue cheese with honey.

Bright peach, mandarin and honeysuckle. Medium to full-bodied and clearly sweet on the palate, with firm, mouth-watering acidity that keeps the long finish fresh.

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!
