Markus Molitor is a master of precision, and his 2015 Wehlener Klosterberg Spätlese shows the Mosel at its best. This single-vineyard Riesling is off-dry, complex, and crystalline—with just enough sweetness to balance its electric acidity.
Molitor’s whites are known for their clarity and aging potential. Grown on steep, slate-covered slopes above the Mosel River, this Spätlese delivers ripe peach, wild herbs, and salty minerality, wrapped in a silky texture that dances on the palate.
Tasting Notes:
Ripe peach, apricot, orange zest, white tea, crushed slate.
Food Pairing:
Spicy Thai, pork belly, roast duck, or blue cheese.
Accolades:
95 pts Robert Parker; Gold Medal, Berliner Wine Trophy.
Vineyard & Terroir:
Wehlener Klosterberg, a slate-rich, steep Mosel vineyard. Hand-harvested fruit and spontaneous fermentation.
Why We Like It:
A Riesling for all seasons—refreshing and contemplative, sweet and zippy. Molitor is a genius, and this is proof.
