Weingut Markus Molitor, Saarburger Rausch Auslese** Fruchtsüss, 2019

Weingut Markus Molitor’s Saarburger Rausch Auslese** Fruchtsüss 2019 is a beautifully precise Mosel Riesling, prized for its intense sweetness balanced by the region’s hallmark acidity. Sourced from one of Saar’s most respected vineyards, it captures the elegance, purity, and longevity that have made Molitor a benchmark producer in Germany. The Auslese level and fruit-sweet style also speak to a long tradition of late-harvest Rieslings crafted for both immediate pleasure and remarkable ageing.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine typically shows a luminous golden hue, hinting at its concentration and sweetness. The nose is expected to be expressive and layered, with aromas of ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, yellow orchard fruit, and a floral lift, often underscored by slate-driven minerality and delicate honeyed nuances. On the palate, it should feel lush and concentrated, yet never heavy, with juicy sweetness wrapped around vibrant Mosel acidity. Expect flavours of peach, apricot, quince, and lime zest, finishing with a long, refined mineral edge. Thanks to its structure and balance, this wine has excellent ageing potential and should develop additional complexity over many years.

Production
The Saarburger Rausch is one of the Mosel’s standout sites, known for its steep slate slopes and cool climate, which help preserve freshness while allowing Riesling to achieve exceptional aromatic depth. Markus Molitor is known for meticulous vineyard work and selective harvesting, often picking grapes by hand at optimal ripeness to preserve purity and concentration. The Auslese style is made from carefully selected, fully ripe fruit, vinified in a way that emphasises precision, finesse, and the natural interplay between sweetness and acidity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with fruit-based desserts, tarte Tatin, apricot tart, blue cheese, or foie gras, where its sweetness and acidity can provide a perfect counterbalance. It is best served well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and usually does not require decanting, though a short period in the glass can help it open up.
