Weingut Markus Molitor, Wehlener Klosterberg Kabinett Trocken, 2022

Weingut Markus Molitor’s Wehlener Klosterberg Kabinett Trocken 2022 is a precise, dry Mosel Riesling that captures the estate’s signature combination of purity, tension, and mineral depth. Sourced from the steep, south-facing Wehlener Klosterberg site near the winery, it reflects both the elegance of the Mosel and Markus Molitor’s uncompromising style, where ripe fruit is harvested at Kabinett-level maturity and fermented fully dry.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Riesling shows a bright, pale straw colour with a lively, crystalline sheen. The nose is beautifully focused, offering citrus peel, green apple, white peach, and a pronounced slate-driven minerality, with subtle herbal and floral undertones adding lift and complexity. The palate is dry, fresh, and finely etched, with crisp acidity carrying flavours of lemon, lime, orchard fruit, and a touch of ripe stone fruit. Despite its linear, restrained profile, there is a quiet generosity from the mature fruit that gives the wine balance and depth. The finish is long, clean, and mineral, with excellent aging potential over the next 5–10 years, and potentially longer in a good cellar.

Production
The grapes come from Wehlener Klosterberg, a steep, south-facing Mosel vineyard known for its slate-rich soils and excellent sun exposure, both of which contribute to the wine’s energy, precision, and distinct mineral character. Fruit is harvested at Kabinett ripeness, but the wine is fermented through to dryness, a hallmark of Markus Molitor’s approach to Riesling, designed to preserve freshness, purity, and site expression.

Food & Serving
This wine is highly versatile and works wonderfully as an aperitif, but it truly shines alongside Asian dishes, shellfish, sushi, light seafood preparations, and delicate starters such as asparagus or fresh salads. Serve chilled at 8–10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, although a short aeration can help open the wine if enjoyed young.
