Riesling from the Wolfer Goldgrube, the steep site above Traben-Trarbach where the estate has 90% of its five hectares of vines. What sets those vines apart is that many were never consolidated or replanted — partly ungrafted, some over a century old, still trained on the traditional single stake rather than wires — and they're farmed organically, certified, with everything picked by hand. In the cellar it's deliberately hands-off: indigenous yeasts, large oak casks and stainless steel, lees ageing, all pointed at salinity and structure rather than flash. Goldgrube has a signature that shows up vintage after vintage, a white-flower lift over real power and a herbal edge that keeps the whole thing fresh. Since 2019 the winery has been run jointly with Moritz Hoffmann, joined by Vinzent Ewest from 2025, and the grip on quality hasn't slipped an inch. For anyone who wants to understand why the Mosel's old own-rooted vines matter, this is the address.
