Yellow cherry jam and grapefruit marmalade are mingled with honey, marzipan and caramel on the nose and the glycerol-rich, seductively creamy palate of this colorful bottling from fruit harvested well into TBA territory. It finishes with prominent but not excessive sweetness, a soothing sense of saturation, a mouthwatering lick of salt and prodigious sheer persistence. Very much a wine with a future!

These wines develop slowly. Quite sweet but not overwhelming, good acidity with notes of honey, honey melon, ripe yellow pear nectar, apricot and a hint of saffron. — 5 years ago
Wow.
This just screams typicity.
Nose is just that mosel lemon pith mineral blast.
Palate is minerals and lemons. A hint of lemon soda but not much.
Just transports you to Germany. Zip.
Maybe the best version of what this is trying to be I’ve ever had. You are in the mosel and ask for a “glass of trocken”. You want something typical. This is sooooooo typical but brilliantly made. Wow.
If you are a wine geek this is a must own.
No shit it lacks the density of a top tier wine. <> the point.

I think it's apt for me to compare this to Daniel's 14' Wolfer Goldgrube Kabi I had a few days ago: It's lighter; ethereal. Less ripe; on the grapefruit spectrum. Doesn't really feature that power with restraint element I saw in Daniel's Kabi; perhaps a function of vintage. As racy and precise. Similarly mineral, although Julian's wine leans on the fruitier side; bottle age difference perhaps. Sulphur applied with more constraint in Julian's wine. Spicier; feature I notice in some of Julian's cuvees.
Overall, a stunning Kabi. Just the way I like it! Without a doubt, one that will improve with age. — 6 years ago

Buen Riesling del Mosela, de
un buen productor como es Daniel Vollenweider. Los “Wolfer”, representan lo que sería un vino “Village” de la zona/pueblo de Wolf en Mosela. Este 2011, catado en 2020; presenta color dorado pálido, aun con algún destello verdoso. Potente nariz al inicio de Hidrocarburos, que se va suavizando y da paso a flores blancas, nectarinas y frutas tropicales. Persisten las notas a Petróleo o Keroseno.
En boca es un vino vertical, seco, gran acidez pero equilibrada, mineralidad. Corto. — 4 years ago
