Based in the Mosel Valley, Weingut Markus Molitor farms the steep Zeltinger Schlossberg vineyard planted on slate soils overlooking the river. This Auslese* Gold Capsule comes from carefully selected late-harvest Riesling with elevated ripeness and natural sweetness. Fermentation takes place slowly in traditional oak fuder followed by extended ageing on lees. The warm 2022 vintage delivered expressive fruit balanced by lively acidity. Compared with Molitor’s Spätlese wines from the same vineyard, this Auslese shows greater richness and texture, combining peach, honey and citrus notes with vibrant acidity and distinctive slate minerality. https://www.markusmolitor.com
