Weingut Markus Molitor, Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese Trocken, 2022

Weingut Markus Molitor’s Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese Trocken is a brilliant Mosel Riesling that combines precision, elegance, and striking intensity. Sourced from one of the region’s most celebrated sites, it reflects the class of the historic Zeltinger Sonnenuhr vineyard and the signature style that has made Markus Molitor one of Germany’s most admired producers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine shows a vivid, bright appearance with a polished, crystalline clarity. The nose is layered and expressive, offering ripe orchard fruit, citrus, white flowers, and a distinct mineral edge that gives the wine extra lift and definition. On the palate it is simultaneously concentrated and graceful, with juicy fruit, taut acidity, and a finely etched slate-driven minerality. The finish is long, energetic, and mouthwatering, with enough depth to impress now and the structure to age beautifully for 10–15 years, gaining complexity and nuance over time.

Production
Zeltinger Sonnenuhr lies in the Mosel near Zeltingen-Rachtig, on a classic river bend where steep slopes and slate soils create ideal conditions for Riesling. The vineyard’s old, historic character and cool climate help preserve freshness, purity, and the signature precision associated with great Mosel wines. Vinification at Weingut Markus Molitor focuses on expressing site character and balance, resulting in a wine that is ripe yet razor-sharp, with finely tuned acidity and mineral drive.

Food & Serving
This is a superb match for dishes that can mirror its precision and freshness, such as grilled or poached fish, shellfish, sushi, poultry with light sauces, or vegetarian dishes featuring asparagus, herbs, and citrus. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C to highlight its tension and aromatics, and decanting is not necessary, though a short period in the glass will help the wine open further.

Weingut Markus Molitor is one of the standout names in the Mosel, known for producing highly detailed, terroir-driven Rieslings across some of the region’s finest vineyard sites. Under Markus Molitor’s leadership, the estate has earned a reputation for uncompromising quality and remarkable consistency, becoming a benchmark producer for elegant German white wines.
