Weingut Markus Molitor, Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Auslese ** Fruchtsüss, 2020

Weingut Markus Molitor’s Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Auslese ** Fruchtsüss 2020 is a beautifully poised Mosel Riesling that combines precision, richness, and striking mineral drive. Sourced from one of the region’s most celebrated sites, it captures the classic tension between ripe fruit sweetness and the steep slate-grown elegance that has made Mosel Auslese wines so prized for generations.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass, it offers a luminous, delicate appearance that hints at its sweetness without feeling heavy. The nose is expressive and refined, with aromas of peach, apricot, ripe citrus, white flowers, honeyed nuance, and wet slate minerality. On the palate, the wine is concentrated yet airborne, balancing juicy stone fruit and candied citrus with racy acidity and a cool, stony backbone. The Fruchtsüss style brings a generous sweetness, but the finish stays fresh and focused, giving the wine excellent lift and remarkable balance. It has strong aging potential and should continue to develop complexity over many years, gaining honeyed, spicy, and petrol-like nuances with time.

Production
This wine comes from Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr, a renowned Mosel vineyard known for its steep, slate-rich slopes and exceptional exposure, which help Riesling achieve both ripeness and vivid acidity. The 2020 vintage was vinified in the classic Molitor style, emphasizing careful hand-harvesting and gentle cellar work to preserve purity, site expression, and the wine’s natural balance between sweetness and mineral structure.

Food & Serving
A great match for fruit-based desserts, tarte tatin, peach or apricot tarts, and delicate pastries, as well as blue cheese or foie gras for a more savory pairing. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a brief aeration can help older bottles open up more fully.
