His aim from the start was to bring Mosel Riesling back to the era when the river's best sites were among the most sought after white wines in the world. Today the Middle Mosel vineyards run from Brauneberg to Traben-Trarbach, and since 2001 the estate has also farmed steep slopes on the Saar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe international breakthrough came when Wine Advocate gave three Auslesen from the 2013 vintage a perfect 100 points, which earned him the nickname \"Herr 300 Punkte\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMolitor Riesling from Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, Wehlener Sonnenuhr and other great sites\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery vineyard sits on slate, yet each site speaks with its own voice. Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, on grey slate, is the estate's signature vineyard and the source of several of its most celebrated Auslesen, such as the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese*** in both fruity sweet and feinherb styles. Wehlener Sonnenuhr gives a taut, elegant Auslese*** Trocken, while Graacher Domprobst Kabinett Trocken shows how much clarity a light wine can carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRed slate in Ürzig and Erden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eÜrziger Würzgarten and Erdener Treppchen grow on red slate, and the wines turn spicier and more exotic.

In 2016 Markus Molitor also bought Domäne Serrig, a Prussian state domain founded in 1904 under Kaiser Wilhelm II. The vineyards were replanted, and the first wines, a Kabinett and a dry Grosse Lage from the Vogelsang site, arrived with the 2020 vintage and were released through the Place de Bordeaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReading Markus Molitor capsules and stars\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour of the capsule tells you the style. A white capsule means dry, green means feinherb (off dry) and gold means fruity sweet or nobly sweet. Pinot Noir wears a red capsule, and the white Burgundy varieties such as Pinot Blanc a yellow one. The stars after the Prädikat, from one to three, are the estate's own ranking within that Prädikat: three stars mark the strictest selection. So an Auslese*** with a white capsule is a powerful dry wine, while an Auslese*** with a gold capsule is a sweet one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe cellar, Pinot Noir and Haus Klosterberg\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the wines ferment spontaneously with wild yeasts, without fining agents or enzymes.

Despite its opulence, the aromatic profile remains crystalline and precise, with a strong sense of the red slate terroir running through it.\n\nOn the palate, this Riesling is silk-textured, full-bodied and remarkably powerful, yet retains a striking elegance. Ripe fruit intensity—think mango, pineapple, peach and candied citrus—is perfectly balanced by a piercing, slate-driven minerality and vibrant acidity. The wine is warm and rich, but never heavy, finishing with extraordinary length, complexity and finesse. The structure and concentration suggest exceptional aging potential: properly cellared, this 2018 will evolve beautifully over 20–30 years or more, developing additional layers of honey, dried fruit and smoky mineral nuances while maintaining its underlying purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Erdener Prälat vineyard is one of the Mosel’s true grand crus: a tiny, steep, south-to-southwest facing amphitheater of red Devonian slate that captures maximum sunshine and reflects heat back onto the vines, allowing Riesling to achieve perfect ripeness while retaining vivid acidity. The vines cling to these dramatic slopes, and harvesting is done entirely by hand, often in multiple passes (selections) to pick only the most pristine, perfectly ripe and partially botrytised berries for the rare Auslese *** bottlings. In the cellar, Markus Molitor follows a low-intervention philosophy: gentle pressing, slow and cool fermentation—often with natural yeasts—plus long lees contact help preserve the wine’s clarity, structure and depth. The white capsule denotes a style that, while rich and concentrated, is vinified with a focus on precision, balance and mineral transparency rather than overt sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a contemplative wine that shines with refined dishes.

Serve slightly chilled, around 9–11°C (48–52°F), to allow the aromatics to fully express themselves.

The estate is known for its rigorous parcel selection, late harvesting and precise vinification, which together yield an impressive range of Rieslings from bone-dry to nobly sweet. Molitor’s color-coded capsule system (white for dry, green for off-dry, and gold for sweeter styles) has become a hallmark of the estate, and his wines—especially from top sites like Erdener Prälat—regularly receive some of the highest critical accolades in Germany, reinforcing his status as a benchmark producer in the Mosel and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Molitor, Markus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252192235857,"sku":"PS-7730891063496","price":663.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/Molitor_MarkusErdenerPralatAuslese_WhiteCapsule_2018.png?v=1783443652"},{"product_id":"weingut-markus-molitor-urziger-wurzgarten-kabinett-trocken-2021","title":"Weingut Markus Molitor, Ürziger Würzgarten Kabinett Trocken, 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eWeingut Markus Molitor’s Ürziger Würzgarten Kabinett Trocken 2021 is a precise, energetic Mosel Riesling that combines youthful freshness with the depth and character of one of the region’s great sites.
