Weingut Markus Molitor, Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese Trocken, 2022

Weingut Markus Molitor’s Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese Trocken 2022 is a finely etched Mosel Riesling that combines site-driven precision with the distinctive aromatic energy of one of the region’s most celebrated vineyards. From the red slate slopes of Ürzig, it offers a dry, expressive style that reflects both the pedigree of the site and Markus Molitor’s exacting approach to winemaking.

Tasting Notes
Pale, shimmering straw in the glass, this wine is lifted by a vibrant aromatic profile of citrus zest, green apple, white peach, and subtle herbal and floral nuances. The palate is sleek and focused, with juicy fruit, stony minerality, and a racy line of acidity that gives the wine length and definition. The dry Spätlese style brings impressive tension and concentration, with the hallmark red-slate character of Ürziger Würzgarten adding spice and depth. It should age beautifully, gaining complexity, honeyed nuance, and a more pronounced mineral signature over the next several years.

Production
Sourced from the steep, south-facing red slate slopes of Ürziger Würzgarten in the Mosel, the wine reflects a cool-climate terroir that is ideal for Riesling’s aromatic precision and natural acidity. The grapes are typically harvested by hand due to the challenging inclines, allowing for careful selection of healthy, ripe fruit. Vinification is carried out with a restrained, precise approach to preserve purity, freshness, and the vineyard’s distinctive mineral character.

Food & Serving
This Riesling pairs beautifully with shellfish, sushi, freshwater fish, light poultry dishes, and salty or slightly spicy Asian cuisine. Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C; decanting is generally not necessary, though a short aeration can help the wine open if served young.
