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.

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.

Deep, concentrated and powerful nose with striking mineral, stony notes alongside white fruit, citrus and a hint of lily of the valley. On the palate: dry yet rich, broad and intense, silky in texture with that signature mineral elegance, a saline finish and an endless length…

A luscious dry wine, with just a few grams of residual sugars, a touch lighter in sweetness than its bigger Spätlese sibling, yet still bursting with exotic fruit, honey, and floral notes, wrapped in that subtle petrol hint so typical of this terroir. Broad and generous on the palate — a juice built to age.

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.

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.
