Weingut Markus Molitor, Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese*** Feinherb, 2019

Weingut Markus Molitor’s Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese*** Feinherb 2019 is a striking Mosel Riesling that balances concentration, elegance, and precision in classic Molitor style. From one of the region’s most celebrated sites, it shows the kind of mineral depth, lifted aromatics, and finely tuned sweetness that have made Mosel Auslese wines so highly prized.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this white wine is poised and luminous, with an expressive nose of passion fruit, mirabelle plum, white lilies, summer apples, and crushed slate. The aromas are both exotic and refined, unfolding with remarkable clarity and a distinctly cool Mosel character. On the palate, it is intense yet beautifully composed, with a generous core of fruit, a subtle sweetness, and razor-sharp acidity that keeps everything vivid and focused. The finish is stony, saline, and juicy, with impressive length and energy. It already offers enormous pleasure, but it also has the structure and concentration to age gracefully for many years.

Production
This Riesling comes from the famous Zeltinger Sonnenuhr vineyard in the Mosel, a steep slate site that is perfectly suited to producing wines of precision, aromatic lift, and pronounced minerality. The cool climate and mineral soils contribute to the wine’s tension, freshness, and distinctive salty-stony edge. As an Auslese*** Feinherb, the grapes were harvested at high ripeness to achieve remarkable concentration while preserving elegance and freshness. Markus Molitor is known for meticulous vineyard work and carefully controlled vinification, allowing the character of the site and vintage to shine through with purity and balance.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with dishes that can echo its richness and bright acidity, such as roast poultry, glazed pork, Asian cuisine with a touch of sweetness, spicy seafood, or rich soft cheeses. It is also excellent alongside foie gras or fruit-based desserts if you want to lean into its subtle sweetness. Serve well chilled at around 8-10°C, and decanting is not necessary, though a little time in the glass will help it раскры its full aromatic range.
