Description
A mature Mosel Auslese from Markus Molitor, this 1992 Rivaner showcases the ageability and finesse that can emerge from the Wehlener Klosterberg vineyard. Presented with the estate’s white capsule, it is a refined late-harvest wine with remarkable depth, balancing ripe fruit, sweetness and refreshing acidity.
Tasting Notes
The wine displays a rich golden-yellow colour, reflecting its long development in bottle. Its complex bouquet combines aromas of mature orchard fruit with notes of honey and delicate spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and layered, with generous ripe-fruit flavours supported by a pleasant line of acidity. The finish is long, harmonious and warmly nuanced. At more than three decades old, it should be enjoyed for its mature character, although further development will depend on storage conditions.
Production
The grapes came from the steep Wehlener Klosterberg vineyard in the Mosel, a celebrated site known for its slate-rich soils and favourable exposure. Classified as an Auslese, the wine was made from selected, fully ripe grapes harvested for their concentration and aromatic intensity. Detailed information about the precise harvesting and vinification methods is not available.
Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 9–11°C. Its combination of maturity, fruit richness and acidity makes it a natural partner for delicate fish, poultry with light sauces and mature or mildly savoury cheeses. Decanting is not essential, but carefully opening the bottle and allowing it a short period of air can help reveal its aromatic complexity; stand the bottle upright beforehand if sediment is present.
Producer
Markus Molitor is one of the Mosel’s most respected producers, with a longstanding focus on expressive wines from the region’s steep, slate-influenced vineyards. The estate is particularly known for its detailed work with Riesling and other traditional Mosel varieties, as well as its careful classification of wines by capsule colour and style. This bottle reflects the producer’s emphasis on vineyard character, precision and long-term cellaring potential.
