Weingut Markus Molitor, Saarburger Rausch Beerenauslese, 2019

The 2019 Saarburger Rausch Beerenauslese from Weingut Markus Molitor is a rare, intensely sweet wine from one of the Saar’s most prized vineyard sites. Crafted with the precision and patience that define Molitor’s style, it captures the elegance, purity, and remarkable concentration for which the estate is so highly regarded.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a luminous golden hue that hints at its richness and depth. The nose is layered with ripe stone fruit, honey, citrus peel, and floral nuances, often joined by a distinct mineral edge that reflects its Saar origins. On the palate, this Beerenauslese is lush and concentrated, balancing pronounced sweetness with bright, mouthwatering acidity. Flavours of apricot, peach, candied citrus, and exotic fruit unfold slowly, finishing long and finely textured. While already deeply expressive, it also has excellent aging potential and should continue to gain complexity over many years.

Production
Saarburger Rausch is a steep, slate-rich vineyard site in the Saar that is known for producing wines of finesse, tension, and aromatic clarity. For Beerenauslese, the grapes are selected berry by berry at full botrytis ripeness, resulting in extraordinary concentration and natural sweetness. Vinification is carried out with great care to preserve purity, balance, and the delicate vineyard character.

Food & Serving
Best served slightly chilled at around 8–10°C, this wine is a superb match for blue cheese, fruit-based desserts, tarte Tatin, or delicate pastries. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a contemplative after-dinner wine; decanting is generally unnecessary, though a brief rest in the glass can help the aromatics open up.
