Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass, this Auslese shows the graceful brightness typical of great Mosel Riesling, with a luminous, finely detailed appearance. The nose is expressive yet refined, suggesting ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, floral notes and the smoky slate nuance that often defines wines from this region. On the palate, it is concentrated and silky, balancing luscious fruit sweetness with vibrant acidity and a mineral core that keeps everything fresh and focused. The finish is long and precise, with excellent aging potential: while already charming now, it should gain complexity, honeyed depth and subtle tertiary notes over many years in bottle.

Production
Coming from the Kinheimer Rosenberg, a steep Mosel vineyard known for its slate soils and cool-climate exposure, this wine benefits from the kind of terroir that naturally preserves acidity while allowing Riesling to achieve exceptional aromatic purity. The Auslese style indicates selective harvesting of fully ripe grapes, often picked berry by berry to ensure concentration and balance. Vinification is carried out with a focus on preserving freshness and transparency, allowing the fruit, sweetness and mineral structure to remain in harmony. The result is a wine that feels both opulent and finely tuned, with the precision that has become a hallmark of Markus Molitor’s cellar work.

Food & Serving
Best served lightly chilled, around 8–10°C, this wine is a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, tarte Tatin, poached pears, crème brûlée or blue cheese. It also works beautifully on its own as a contemplative after-dinner wine. Decanting is generally not necessary, though a brief period in the glass can help the aromatics open up.
