Weingut Markus Molitor, Zeltinger Schlossberg Auslese** Feinherb

Weingut Markus Molitor’s Zeltinger Schlossberg Auslese** Feinherb is a finely poised Mosel Riesling that combines precision, ripe fruit, and the site’s unmistakable mineral edge. The double-asterisk designation points to greater intensity and concentration, while the feinherb style delivers a beautifully balanced interplay of sweetness and freshness.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass, this wine typically shows a luminous, elegant appearance. The nose is expressive yet refined, with notes of ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, white flowers, and the slate-driven minerality for which the Mosel is famous. On the palate, it is vibrant and layered, balancing juicy fruit sweetness with electric acidity and a distinctly saline, mineral finish. The Auslese ripeness adds depth and concentration, while the feinherb character keeps the wine agile and food-friendly. It should age gracefully for many years, developing more honeyed, petrol, and complex tertiary notes over time.

Production
Zeltinger Schlossberg is a steep Mosel vineyard site known for its blue and grey slate soils, which help Riesling retain tension, fragrance, and mineral definition. Markus Molitor is known for meticulous vineyard selection and careful harvesting, often with multiple passes through the vines to pick fully ripe fruit at optimal balance. Vinification is carried out with a focus on preserving purity and site expression, typically through slow, cool fermentation and gentle cellar handling.

Food & Serving
This wine works beautifully with spicy Asian cuisine, roast poultry, rich seafood dishes, sushi, and lightly sweet-sour preparations, as well as strong cheeses. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C. Decanting is generally not necessary, though a short time in the glass can help the aromatics open up.
