Weingut Markus Molitor, Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Beerenauslese, 2006

Weingut Markus Molitor’s 2006 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Beerenauslese is a rare Mosel dessert wine that showcases the precision, depth, and unmistakable elegance of this famous steep-sloped vineyard. Made only in exceptional years, it combines concentrated sweetness with razor-sharp acidity and the kind of terroir-driven complexity that has made Markus Molitor one of the region’s most respected producers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a luminous golden colour that hints at its richness and maturity. The bouquet is intensely layered, with honey, ripe peach, apricot, and orange blossom lifted by a subtle mineral edge. On the palate, the wine is lush and sweet, unfolding with flavours of stone fruit, caramel, and honey, balanced by vibrant acidity that keeps everything fresh and focused. The 2006 vintage has added an extra layer of evolved complexity and depth, and this Beerenauslese is built to age beautifully for many more years, developing even greater nuance over time.

Production
The grapes come from Wehlener Sonnenuhr, one of the Mosel’s most celebrated vineyard sites, where steep slate terraces and a cool climate create ideal conditions for Riesling of extraordinary finesse. Harvesting is done entirely by hand, with only the most perfectly ripened, botrytis-affected berries selected for Beerenauslese production. The winemaking is carefully managed to preserve purity, concentration, and the site’s signature mineral tension.

Food & Serving
This wine is a superb match for blue cheese, foie gras, fruit-based desserts, tarte Tatin, or pastries with apricot and peach. It is best served well chilled, around 8–10°C, and does not typically require decanting, though a brief airing can help open its aromas if it has been cellared for many years.
