Description
Weingut Markus Molitor’s Graacher Himmelreich Auslese*** Feinherb 2019 is a beautifully precise Mosel Riesling that balances delicate sweetness with a vivid, mouthwatering freshness. Sourced from one of the region’s most celebrated vineyards, it captures the classic slate-driven character of the Mosel while offering the elegance, lift, and complexity that have made Markus Molitor a benchmark producer.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, luminous yellow hue. The nose is immediately inviting, with aromas of nectarine, pineapple, flint, and fresh mint leaves, layered over a subtle mineral core.
On the palate, it is light and playful in texture, yet impressively complex, with the sweetness only gently touching the upper lip rather than dominating the wine. The classic slate minerality gives structure and depth, while the refreshing acidity carries the finish and leaves a crisp, saline impression. It has excellent potential to age gracefully, developing additional nuance and richness over time.
Production
Graacher Himmelreich is a prized Mosel site known for its steep slate slopes, which help retain heat and produce Rieslings of great finesse, clarity, and mineral tension. Markus Molitor is known for meticulous vineyard work and careful harvesting of ripe, healthy fruit, allowing the character of each parcel to shine.
Vinification is traditionally thoughtful and precise, aiming to preserve purity of fruit, site expression, and the natural balance between sweetness and acidity that defines Feinherb Riesling.
Food & Serving
This wine is a superb match for sushi, sashimi, and delicate fish dishes, especially those with a light Asian influence, such as ginger, soy, sesame, or citrus. Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C. Decanting is not necessary, though a short period in the glass can help раскрыve its aromatic detail.
