Markus Molitor - Moselle Riesling Auslese* Bernkasteler Badstube 2021

4.2/5 (4 reviews)

"A Riesling made to keep!

"The Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Auslese * (Capsule Verte) 2021 is still restrained 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)

Markus Molitor - Moselle Riesling Spatlese Urziger Wurzgarten 2021

4/5 (4 reviews)

"Remarkable finesse and purity!"

"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)

Markus Molitor - Moselle Riesling Haus Klosterberg 2021

3.9/5 (9 reviews)

"All the beauty of German soil!

"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)

Van Volxem - Moselle Wiltinger Riesling Ortswein 2021

5/5 (1 review)

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!

Markus Molitor - Moselle Riesling Kabinett Wehlener Klosterberg WC 2020

3/5 (2 reviews)

"This is a rather smooth and austere wine, but with so much spring flowers and apples freshly picked from the trees. The finish is extremely lively, with the freshness of a torrent. Only 10.5% alcohol! Drink now. (James Suckling 2022)

Markus Molitor - Moselle Riesling Auslese ** Wehlener Sonnenuhr WC 2019

5/5 (2 reviews)

"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, enduringly 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)

Markus Molitor - Moselle Riesling Auslese *** Wehlener Sonnenuhr GOC 2019 (demi-sec)

4.5/5 (2 reviews)

"Riesling rated 99/100 by the Wine Advocate!"

"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." (Wine Advocate 2021)

Markus Molitor - Pinot Noir Haus Klosterberg 2017

3.6/5 (15 reviews)

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!

Markus Molitor - Riesling Eiswein Brauneberger Mandelgraben 2009 (liquoreux - 37.5 cl)

4/5 (1 review)

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!

Markus Molitor - Riesling Auslese** Bernkasteler Badstube 2017

4.5/5 (13 reviews)

"The 2017 Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Auslese ** (Green Capsule) is a stunning wine that displays a luminous, fairly 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 and 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)

Dr Loosen - Riesling Erdener Treppchen Auslese 2018 (37.5cl)

4/5 (1 review)

This Auslese Riesling is bright and fresh, with typical grapefruit and lime aromas. Its finely saline, spicy mouthfeel shows great concentration and impressive length. Gourmet finesse!

Dr Loosen - Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Trocken 2017

"The 2017 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling GG Alte Reben is bright, clear, fine and relaxed on a subtly concentrated nose that displays perfectly ripe stone fruit aromas interwoven with delicate slate notes. On the palate, this is a concentrated, lush, dynamic, crystalline, highly refined and complex Sonnenuhr with finely racy acidity, plenty of energy, grip and mineral tension." (Wine Advocate 2020)

Dr Loosen - Dr L Feinherb Riesling 2017

3.3/5 (3 reviews)

"An extremely attractive, easy-to-drink Riesling from the Moselle. Floral and juicy with very lively acidity and a touch of sweetness that is beautifully integrated." (James Suckling 2018) A riesling for all occasions!

Van Volxem - Riesling Goldberg GG 2018

3/5 (1 review)

"A successful vintage

"It may only be medium-bodied, but it has a lovely combination of creaminess and crispness, herbaceous and mineral intensity and a long, driving finish. Clearly the best vintage of this wine yet! Drink it or keep it." (James Suckling 2019)

Van Volxem - Riesling Schiefer 2018

3.7/5 (7 reviews)

"Bright limes, green apples and poached pears. Hints of white pepper and green paprika. Taut and edgy, but with good density and definition for this price. Fruity on the finish. Drink now." (James Suckling 2019)
