Based in Wehlen in the Mosel Valley, Weingut Markus Molitor farms the iconic Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard, one of the region’s most celebrated blue-slate sites. This Auslese** White Capsule is made from selectively harvested Riesling and fermented in traditional oak fuder, with the white capsule indicating a dry style despite the Auslese level. The balanced 2016 vintage delivered both concentration and freshness. Compared with the sweeter Gold Capsule bottlings from the same vineyard, this wine is more linear and structured, combining ripe citrus, stone fruit and smoky slate notes with firm acidity and a long, precise finish. https://www.markusmolitor.com
