The
Markus Molitor Wine Estate
Markus, the 8th generation, took up the reins of his
family estate aged just 20 in 1984. Despite his youth,
his vision was very clearly defined and ambitious:
to help restore the wines of the Moselle valley to
their former glory, with unmistakeable Riesling wines
true to their individual vineyard identity (terroir)
and of extreme longevity. His guidelines are precise
quality of work, both in vineyard and cellar - without
any compromises - together with absolute respect for
the natural products.
Markus Molitor Mosel Riesling-Feinherb 2004
A surprisingly rich and concentrated wine, big by
German standards, showing an abundance of ripe appley
fruit with hints of elderflower and lime...
Markus Molitor Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling
Kabinett 2002 A lovely wine. Deliciously elegant, medium-dry
with hints of honey underpinned by a zesty elderflower
and apple fruit...
Markus Molitor Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese
1993
From what is arguably the most perfect vintage of
the 1990's, this wine causes real excitement when
included in tastings. Wonderfully intense petrol nose
