This is sourced from the greatest parcel in the Goldgrube, directly around the sign – there’s a sort of rocky cliff / bluff area there, with a tiny part with super old vines – all 90-100+ ungrafted. the wine is made in the same technique as most of Daniel’s wines… so slow cool fermentation, stainless steel, longer elevage, bottling, etc. This is his top bottling, he was only able to get this parcel in 2016. Bone dry, loads and loads of herbs and smoke and camphor and power, but not hot.

| Mosel Fine Wines | The 2020er Goldgrube Aurum, as it is referred to on the consumer label, is a legally dry wine (with 3.4 g/l of residual sugar) made from fruit picked on the oldest, over 100-year-old un-grafted vines in the vineyard and which was fermented for 18 months in cask before being bottled (hence the late AP number). It has a gorgeous and hugely spicy yet still restrained nose of minty herbs, lozenge, almond, licorice, lime, and lavender. The wine starts off on the creamy and comparatively light side yet built up its presence and structure as it develops. It becomes even intense and almost powerful. The finish has more lightness and finesse but is also immensely long and energetic. | No 62, June 2021 |
