Markus Molitor’s Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese*** Goldkapsel 2019 is a standout Mosel Riesling that combines precision, depth, and extraordinary elegance. Awarded 100 Parker points, it reflects the purity of the steep slate vineyards and the timeless reputation of one of Germany’s most celebrated wine estates.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the luminous clarity expected of a top Mosel Riesling, with a vibrant, polished appearance. The nose is highly expressive, unfolding with ripe stone fruit, citrus, floral nuances, and a fine mineral edge that speaks of its slate-driven origin. On the palate, this Auslese is beautifully poised between sweetness and racy acidity, delivering concentrated fruit, aromatic intensity, and a long, finely etched finish. Its balance and structure suggest excellent aging potential, with the wine likely to gain even more complexity and nuance over time.

Production
The grapes come from the steep slopes of the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr vineyard in the Mosel, where old slate soils and a cool climate create ideal conditions for producing finely detailed Riesling. Hand harvesting is essential here, allowing only the best fruit to be selected from these challenging hillside parcels. Vinification follows a careful, low-intervention approach designed to preserve the wine’s natural aromatics, purity, and terroir expression. The result is a rich yet precise Auslese that showcases both the vineyard’s mineral character and the finesse of Markus Molitor’s craftsmanship.

Food & Serving
This wine is excellent as an aperitif or alongside lightly seasoned dishes, refined Asian cuisine, poultry, or delicate seafood. It also pairs beautifully with fruit-based desserts or mild blue cheeses. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short aeration can help reveal its full aromatic complexity.
