Weingut Markus Molitor, Brauneberger Klostergarten** Pinot Noir, 2020

Weingut Markus Molitor’s Brauneberger Klostergarten** Pinot Noir 2020 is a finely structured red from one of Germany’s most admired Mosel producers. Sourced from a celebrated site in Brauneberg, it showcases Molitor’s precise, site-driven style and the growing potential of Pinot Noir in cool-climate Germany.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Pinot Noir typically shows a bright, translucent ruby color. The nose is refined and layered, with red cherry, wild strawberry, and raspberry lifted by subtle floral notes, spice, and a gentle earthy edge. The palate is elegant and focused, with fresh acidity, fine tannins, and a silky texture that carries flavors of red berries, cranberry, subtle herbs, and savory mineral tones. It has the balance and concentration to develop further in bottle over the next several years, gaining complexity and nuance with age.

Production
Brauneberger Klostergarten is a steep Mosel site known for its cool climate, slate-rich soils, and strong diurnal contrast, all of which help preserve freshness and aromatic precision. Markus Molitor is known for meticulous vineyard work and careful harvesting by hand, selecting fruit at optimal ripeness. Vinification is carried out with great attention to detail to emphasize purity, texture, and the expression of site rather than heavy extraction.

Food & Serving
This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with duck breast, roast chicken, veal, mushroom dishes, and earthy vegetarian plates such as lentil stew or truffle pasta. Serve slightly chilled at around 14–16°C, and decant briefly if you’d like the aromas to open more quickly, though it is also expressive straight from the bottle.
