Description :
Gold Capsule: Sweet

Vineyard: The grapes for this wine come from old parts of the vineyard, including some ungrafted vines of up to 100 years of age. The soil consists of layers of complex minerals, including the very distinctive blue Devon slate. Markus Molitor is currently the largest property owner within this very famous small vineyard site (only 20 hectares) recognized as one of the best ones along the Middle Mosel.
Vinification: The grapes were softly crushed and macerated for several hours on the skins. After maceration the juice was fermented in large wooden barrels using only natural yeasts. The wine rests on the lees following fermentation producing a balanced and aromatic wine.Grape varieties :

Tasting notes :
"This offers a captivating nose of anise, flowers, vineyard peach and mint joined by riper notes of pear and cinnamon after some airing. The wine is driven by clean yellow peach and candied mango on the very smooth and creamy palate. The finish is delicately creamy and soft. This superb Auslese is both gorgeously complex yet also remarkably easy to enjoy." (Mosel Fine Wines, Issue 38)
