Markus Molitor the most emblematic figure of Germany’s Mosel. He embodies the continuation of a winegrowing tradition spanning eight generations – centuries of men and women, nurturing the same family vineyards now under his care. Today, as the head of Weingut Markus Molitor, Markus oversees some 38 ha of vines. How far we have come since his first vintage in 1984, when a 20-year-old Markus took over just 7 ha of Riesling. But his precise, meticulous work, in the vineyard and winery alike, soon earned him accolades from the world’s leading wine guides. Today, German Mosel Riesling owes its prestige around the globe largely to this man. His achievement is all the more remarkable considering that his plots are worked entirely by hand, on vertiginously steep slopes (up to 80%). To classify his exceptional crus he uses a 3-star system, noting the number of stars on each wine. Plus, the estate also produces some insanely complex Pinot Noir (3% of the vineyard). What’s it like in the glass? A revelation.
Integrated winegrowing
A powerful, complex nose with notes of jammy blackberries, black olive, peony and rose buds... A monumental, eminently memorable palate, on par with the nose, boasting velvety tannins in perfect harmony with the complex, constantly evolving aromas.

A wine we’ll never forget… the nose is absolute perfume, very concentrated with precise notes of red fruit, yet also boasting toasty, herbaceous and spicy aromas. The palate is structured and juicy, and the tannins are still tight – cellar this a few years, your patience will be rewarded!

A wine of great purity and finesse, with a nose of dark berries, slate and flint. The palate is fluid and balanced, with juicy fruit aromas, fine tannic structure, expressive minerality, and a long finish. A wine with excellent ageing potential.

Integrated winegrowing
A dry but tender and concentrated wine, with notes of dried pineapple, yellow apple, honey, white flowers, and a hint of petrol, typical of this terroir. The palate is unctuous, full bodied, and mineralesque, with huge intensity, a few grams of residual sugars and fine acidity… a wine to be aged.

Integrated winegrowing
A charming, delicate, and very seductive nose, with notes of rose, violet, driftwood, and blackcurrant… On the palate, the tannins are fine and ripe, providing a structure that perfectly supports the aromatics. The finish is long and silky, echoing the complexity of the first nose.
Integrated winegrowing
Deep and complex nose of candied and concentrated fruit, bergamot, yellow peach, verbena, beautiful minerality, and a real stony character. Enveloping and persistent on the palate, delicious, with residual sugars perfectly complementing the beautiful volume and phenomenal length.
Integrated winegrowing
Deep and concentrated nose, very precise and direct, with notes of white fruit and pear, dominated by slate, still very slightly reductive. The palate is powerful, intense, generous, and sapid. The finish is also dense, in perfect harmony with the nose and palate, very long and saline.
