Weingut Markus Molitor, Ockfener Bockstein Spätlese Trocken, 2022

Markus Molitor’s Ockfener Bockstein Spätlese Trocken 2022 is a crisp, site-driven Mosel Riesling that shows just how refined dry Riesling can be in the right hands. From one of the region’s most respected estates, it combines precision, freshness, and lifted fruit with the unmistakable elegance of Mosel terroir.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine has a bright, pale straw color with a lively sheen that hints at its freshness. The nose opens with ripe peach, melon, and delicate white flowers, layered with the clean, slate-tinged character that gives Mosel Riesling its signature lift. On the palate, it is precise and focused, with bright acidity driving the wine forward and giving it energy and tension. The fruit is juicy and expressive without losing its dry profile, creating a balanced, mouthwatering style. While already very appealing now, it should also develop additional complexity over the next few years, gaining depth and nuance.

Production
This Riesling comes from the Ockfener Bockstein, a steep Mosel vineyard known for its slate-rich soils and cool climate, both of which help preserve freshness and aromatic clarity. Grapes are typically harvested by hand in this kind of top Mosel site, allowing for careful selection of healthy fruit. Vinification is carried out in a way that emphasizes purity, precision, and the natural character of the vineyard, resulting in a dry wine with impressive definition.

Food & Serving
This wine is an excellent match for seafood, shellfish, sushi, light poultry dishes, and fresh goat cheese. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C to best highlight its freshness and aromatic detail. Decanting is not necessary, but a short time in the glass will help the wine open up.
