The Northwest Food and Wine Festival & Ewald Moseler
welcomes special guest winemakers from Germany
Come Meet these Legendary Winemakers!

Meet Daniel Vollenweider 2007 is yet another excellent vintage for Daniel Vollenweider. He always seems to make wines with a fine and pure intensity, which is what you often find in 2007. With the structure and fine crisp acidity that the vintage also brings this accompanies the sweetess in Vollenweiders wines in an excellent balance. So the wines are sweet, pure and mineral and with crisp acidity and a long taste. It is also a vintage that clearly shows the differencies in wine-making-techniques between the wines from Wolfer Goldgrube and the Shimbock. The first so pure and clear in style. The latter more complex. Favorites include the dry Shimbock, the Wolfer Goldgrube spätlese goldkapsel and the great and interesting beerenauslese.

Attend the German Wine Educational Sessions on the festival floor and meet these wine makers! In Galut Millau, The Definitive Guide to German Wines you can read the following on special guest Daniel Vollenweider. Originally from Switzerland, and starting off in the small village of Wolf in 2000, Daniel arduously worked the Goldgrube vineyard, which had not yet been modernized. He managed to produce 3,500 bottles in his first vintage. This climbed to 8,000 bottles in 2001, and by now he is up to 13,000 bottles. There is plenty of space for his production in the three-storey rock cellar in Traben-Trarbach. When we first tasted this beginner’s wines two years ago, we reported that we had never before been so impressed by a newcomer’s first efforts, from somebody who was completely new to the wine industry. We proclaimed him as our “Discovery of the year 2003,” which fortunately did not make him go and rest on his laurels. Instead, he invested both in his vineyards and in stainless steel tanks, and kept storming ahead, earning the third bunch of grapes. In the 2002 vintage, his strengths lay in his fruity Spätlese wines, which we cannot say again this year - we simply liked the two Auslese wines so much that they overshadowed the Spätleses. The Beerenauslese combines elegance and ripe fruit to one of the best wines produced in this category in 2003.
