The nose is highly expressive, with layers of honey, dried apricot, candied citrus peel, saffron, and subtle floral and mineral notes.\n\nOn the palate, it is dense, silky, and intensely sweet, yet lifted by vibrant Riesling acidity that keeps everything fresh and focused. Expect complex flavours of tropical fruit, stone fruit, citrus marmalade, and botrytis-driven spice, finishing with impressive length and finesse. Thanks to its structure and natural acidity, it has excellent aging potential and can develop beautifully over decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaus Klosterberg is associated with the Mosel’s steep slate slopes, where cool climate conditions and exceptional terroir encourage slow ripening and the development of botrytis in select years. For Trockenbeerenauslese, only individually shrivelled, nobly rotten berries are harvested by hand in multiple passes, making production extremely labor-intensive and limited. The wine is then vinified with great care to preserve purity, acidity, and aromatic complexity while allowing the natural sweetness to take centre stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine is a superb match for blue cheese, foie gras, fruit-based desserts, almond tart, or simply enjoyed on its own as a contemplative finish to a meal. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8-10°C, to maintain freshness and balance. Decanting is generally not necessary, but a short aeration in the glass can help reveal its full aromatic depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeingut Markus Molitor is one of the Mosel’s most celebrated estates, renowned for its dedication to old vines, meticulous vineyard work, and an uncompromising approach to quality.
