Description
Weingut Markus Molitor’s Kinheimer Hubertuslay Auslese ** Trocken 2020 is a striking dry Riesling from one of the Mosel’s most respected producers. Sourced from a steep, south-facing site and crafted with remarkable precision, it combines concentration, mineral drive, and the effortless finesse that have made Molitor a benchmark in the region.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine is very pale and brilliantly clear, hinting at its freshness and purity. The nose opens with ripe stone fruit, mirabelle plum, lemon zest, and a subtle flinty mineral note, creating a layered and inviting aromatic profile.
On the palate, it is concentrated and intense yet always elegant, with lively acidity giving shape and energy to the fruit. A discreetly bitter grapefruit edge in the finish adds length and tension, while the wine’s balance and structure suggest it will develop beautifully over time.
Production
The grapes come from Kinheimer Hubertuslay, a steep south-facing vineyard in the Mosel with deep, weathered grey slate soils that lend the wine its signature minerality and tension. Harvesting is done by hand in late October, with only the healthiest bunches selected at optimal ripeness. Fermentation and ageing take place on the fine lees in old oak casks, adding texture and depth without masking the delicacy of the Riesling.
Food & Serving
This wine is a natural match for grilled white fish, shellfish, poultry, and vegetable dishes brightened with herbs and citrus. It also pairs beautifully with creamy cheeses such as Camembert. Serve chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short aeration can help open up the aromatics.
