The nose opens with ripe stone fruit, mirabelle plum, lemon zest, and a subtle flinty mineral note, creating a layered and inviting aromatic profile.\n\nOn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeingut Markus Molitor is one of the Mosel’s most celebrated estates, known for its meticulous vineyard work and its ability to produce wines of remarkable precision and individuality.
