Moselle
Visit Moselle is Germany's best-known wine region. It is also the largest in terms of production. It stretches from north to south along the winding river of the same name.

The steep, south-facing slopes of the Moselle create an ideal situation for growing Riesling, giving it optimum exposure to the sun. The generally cool climatic conditions allow the grapes to ripen slowly while retaining their acidity. Rocky outcrops and stony soils reflect the sun's rays and retain heat, creating a very warm micro-climate in the best sites and facilitating excellent ripening. A first superficial layer of soil forces the vines to draw their resources from deep, nutrient-rich soils. The result is lively wines that capture the strong minerality of the soils.

"A Riesling made to keep!

"The Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Auslese * (Capsule Verte) 2021 is still discreet but concentrated and fine with a densely mineral nose that reveals notes of crushed blue slate, slate oil and dense Riesling aromas. Round, dense and tasty on the palate, this is a gourmet Auslese, very fine and elegant, with a beautiful phenolic grip on the finish." (Wine Advocate 2023)

"The Riesling Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese (Capsule Blanche) 2021 offers a pure yet intense and concentrated bouquet of perfectly ripe Riesling aromas, lemon juice and crushed slate. Linear, lean and savory on the palate, this is a pure, rather hard and intellectual Würzgarten with a somewhat watery character." (Wine Advocate 2023)

"The Riesling Haus Klosterberg 2021 (Capsule Blanche) is clear, pure and fresh with a lemony, crisp, fresh and wonderfully greenish nose. On the palate, it's a fruity, round and tasty Riesling, very energetic and stimulating with young, fresh and crisp phenols. Medium-length, not overly complex, this is a dry, straightforward Riesling." (The Wine Advocate 2023)

The first nose almost gives the impression of biting into the slate so characteristic of this Riesling's terroir, followed by mineral, smoky and white pepper notes. The palate is marked by fine aromas of blueberry, juniper and sloe. Its intense minerality is reminiscent of iodine. This noble wine will make an excellent meal companion!

"Molitor's lemon-gold Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese ** 2019 opens with spectacular dense, intense tropical fruit aromas that become increasingly fine and detailed and slatey with air. A fascinating beauty in the making. Lively and dashing on the palate despite its richness and with a lemony note and a firm, lastingly salty mineral grip for structure, this full-bodied WSU is a highly refined, elegant dry Auslese with an extremely stimulating finish. Although the 2019 already tastes very good, I wouldn't drink it until it's 20 or even 30 years old, simply because the wine will become even more complex." (Wine Advocate 2021)

"The 2019 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese *** (Capsule Dorée) opens with an immediately seductive bouquet of perfectly ripe peach aromas mingled with very fine crisp and flinty slate notes. Lush and intense yet light, with a saline, fine and elegant yet generously fruity palate lifted by a crystalline, salivating acidity on the palate, this is a filigree, transparent and immaculate Auslese of breathtaking finesse and elegance and the sexiest expression of complexity."

Markus Molitor excels just as much in reds! This pure, fresh and elegant Pinot Noir offers a nose of red and black fruits (strawberry, raspberry, blueberry). Dense and silky on the palate, with a lovely tension that brings crispness and freshness. A charming wine!

This exceptional ice wine is a pearl of flavor. Aromas of white peach, pear, honey, nutmeg and crushed stone emanate from the glass. The palate is equally charming, with unstoppable fullness and delicacy. The freshness of the finish makes it easy to digest. A rare gem!

"The 2017 Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Auslese ** (Green Capsule) is a stunning wine that displays a luminous, rather pale lemon color and opens with a super-precise, refined and beautifully reductive bouquet of perfectly ripe, healthy Riesling berries intertwined with very fine aromas of crushed slate. It's astonishing in its clarity, brightness and crisp Moselle character! On the palate, it's a very elegant, spicy, well-structured Badstube Auslese that perfectly combines ripeness, concentration and finesse. The wine is both rich and filigree, well-structured yet stimulatingly racy, crystalline and beautifully fine, with a long, crisp finish." (Wine Advocate 2019)
