Markus Molitor Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese GK*** 2016 - 0,75

The Markus Molitor Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese GK*** 2016 is a beautifully precise Mosel Riesling that captures both the finesse of the site and the depth of a great late-harvest wine. Sourced from the famed Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard, it combines intensity, elegance, and the unmistakable mineral character that has made Markus Molitor one of Germany’s most respected producers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep golden-yellow hue that signals ripeness and concentration. The nose is layered and expressive, with notes of ripe apple, citrus peel, and honey, lifted by a subtle floral and mineral edge. On the palate, the wine is remarkably balanced and harmonious, with a vibrant acidity that keeps the richness in check and drives a long, refined finish. It has the structure and complexity to evolve beautifully in bottle over the coming years, gaining even more nuance and depth with age.

Production
This Auslese comes from the steep, slate-rich slopes of Wehlener Sonnenuhr in the Mosel, one of Germany’s most celebrated Riesling sites. The vineyard’s cool climate and exceptional exposure allow for slow ripening and the development of intense aromatic concentration, while the region’s blue slate soils lend the wine its signature minerality. Grapes are selected from the best fruit in the site and vinified carefully to preserve purity, precision, and balance.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs wonderfully with fish dishes, poultry, and semi-hard or aromatic cheeses, where its sweetness and acidity can complement richer flavors. Serve lightly chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a brief airing can help open the aromatics if desired.
