2022 Vollenweider - Wolfer Riesling Trocken

The so called entry level Enderle & Moll Pinot lovingly called “Basis”: nearly 50-year-old vines planted on the two predominant soil types in Baden: colored sandstone and shell limestone. The palate has a snap of cherry and cranberry piquancy – mild tannins and pleasantly friendly.

 First – how awesome to see another “Kabinett Feinherb.” What can we say; we love the genre. This is the magic of Ludes: a finely knit tapestry of flowers, minerals, spice. The wine is angelic, light-footed, soaring, nearly illuminated – the laws of gravity do not apply. This is spirit as much as liquid. A little drier and also less acid than the Kabinett Monster.

Vollenweider is quite simply, among the greatest practitioners of Kabinett on planet earth, part of a very small and elite group including Julian Haart, Egon Müller, Keller, Weiser-Künstler and Willi Schaefer – the young Julian Ludes of Hermann Ludes may join the ranks soon enough, but right now these are my five. Try and buy as much of this as you can.

This could be one of the most salty and incisive dry Rieslings of the vintage. This is a village-level wine for the ages, Bone dry at just 10% alcohol and 1g of Residual Sugar
