Markus Molitor Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese

This is another premium wine from the Markus Molitor estate coming from a fascinating vineyard on the Moselle. The wines from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr region are always impressive with their juiciness, unique aromas and often piquant acidity. The Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is redolent of tropical fruit pulp and honey, complemented by notes of apricots, nectarines, peaches and rose blossoms. On the palate, this Riesling from the Rhineland-Palatinate is sensuous and juicy, tremendously round and stimulating as well as precise and delicate.Enjoy this white wine for instance with orange-basil parfait with cheese soufflé and marinated strawberries in vanilla oil.

Markus Molitor

In den letzten Jahren haben sich einige Weingüter in der Moselregion einen guten Namen erarbeitet. Das Weingut Markus Molitor gehört bei den Mosel-Weingütern mittlerweile zu den Betrieben mit Weltniveau und steht an der Spitze Region. Die Mosel-Rieslinge und Spätburgunder sind herausragend. Es gibt wenige Weingüter, deren Produkte von Robert Parker einmal mit der Höchstpunktzahl von 100 Punkten bewertet wurden. Markus Molitor gehört dazu.

Im Alter von 20 Jahre übernahm Markus Molitor 1984 das gerade mal drei Hektar große Weingut in Wehlen bei Bernkastel an der Mosel von seinem Vater. Die Familie Molitor produziert Wein bereits in der achten Generation. Markus Molitor entwickelte das Weingut kontinuierlich und heute bewirtschaftet er mehr als 60 Hektar zwischen Traben-Trabach und Saarburg, die vorwiegend in Steillagen angelegt sind. Das Weingut Markus Molitor baut auf mehr als 20 hervorragenden Einzellagen an der Mosel und Saar vorwiegend Riesling an. Bekannt ist hier sicher der Name einer dieser exzellenten Steillagen, die weltberühmte Zeltinger Sonnenuhr. Manche dieser Lagen muten von außen halsbrecherisch an und haben sicher einen extremen Pflegeaufwand. Allerdings fangen diese Steillagen die Sonne wie einen Spiegel ein und nutzen jeden Sonnenstrahl. Die teilweise über 100 Jahre alten, wurzelechten Reben wachsen in den Steillagen auf Schieferböden und werden sorgsam gepflegt. Die Traubenlese erfolgt nach höchsten qualitativen Ansprüchen. Die Weine von Markus Molitor reichen von leichten, kraftvollen aber ausgewogenen Alltags-Weinen bis hin zu überaus fülligen und nachhaltigen Auslesen beispielsweise von der Zeltinger Sonnenuhr.

Product recommendation

Markus Molitor Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Kabinett
“The typically pure, cool and almost aristocratic minerality of the sweet 2019 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett is united with notes of ripe mirabelles and ripe Riesling grapes, complemented by nutty aromas and hints of honey,” according to Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, awarding 91 points to this Riesling. This premium wine from the Rhineland-Palatinate is fine, racy, elegant and spicy on the palate, with a fruity sweetness. The Zeltinger Sonnenuhr top slopes measure less than 49 acres. The vineyards which are often more than 80 years old are planted with ungrafted vines based on a fine but very stony, very light, blue Devonian slate soil. Enjoy this Riesling from the legendary Markus Molitor estate with warm chicken salad with red onions, honey, green pepper and mint. It is also an ideal accompaniment to chocolate muffins with caramelized banana and almond ice cream. This wine is an exceptional taste experience from the Central Moselle.
