Weingut Markus Molitor, Ockfener Bockstein Kabinett Feinherb, 2020

Weingut Markus Molitor’s Ockfener Bockstein Kabinett Feinherb 2020 is a beautifully poised Mosel Riesling that combines crispness, mineral depth, and a subtle touch of sweetness. The green capsule signals Molitor’s feinherb style, where just a hint of residual sugar is lifted by razor-sharp acidity, creating a wine with remarkable harmony and energy. From one of the Mosel’s most distinctive sites, this is a wine that captures both place and precision.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the bright, youthful clarity you’d expect from a finely tuned Riesling, with a lively, pale-golden hue and a cool, shimmering edge. The nose is expressive and fresh, with notes of gooseberry, green apple, pear, and lime, all wrapped in the signature slate-driven minerality of the Mosel. On the palate, the wine is juicy and mouthwatering, with a delicate off-dry impression that feels almost drier than it is thanks to the taut acidity. Fruit purity and mineral tension are perfectly balanced, giving the wine a vibrant, energetic finish with subtle spice and excellent length. It can be enjoyed now for its freshness and charm, but should also hold well over the next several years as it develops more complexity.

Production
The Ockfener Bockstein vineyard is a steep 63-hectare site near Saar, facing southwest and planted on a mix of grey slate, sandstone, and quartz. These soils, combined with the slope and exposure, help produce powerful, textured Rieslings with a distinctive spicy character. The grapes are typically harvested carefully to preserve freshness and aromatic precision, and vinification is handled in a way that emphasizes purity, balance, and the vineyard’s natural mineral expression.

Food & Serving
This style of Riesling is excellent with spicy Asian dishes, grilled seafood, roast poultry, pork, fresh salads, and lightly creamy cheeses, where its acidity and subtle sweetness can shine. Serve well chilled at 10–12°C for the most refreshing experience, and decanting is generally not necessary—simply open and enjoy its lifted, thirst-quenching style.
