The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Markus Molitor, a star of the German Moselle, has raised his estate to the top of the world viticulture rankings. Sought-after by the greatest wine amateurs and critics alike, his wines have gained international recognition, repeatedly rewarded by a 100/100 rating by Parker.


The complex geology, the steepest slopes (up to 80% slope), the red slate soils of volcanic origin or sandstone forge wines of a magnificent purity, always marked by an incredible elegance and structure, harvested at maximum maturity. Divided between dry (white capsule), semi-dry (green capsule) and sweet (gold capsule), the white wines are all masterfully balanced, thanks to a precise and uncompromising vinification, and a long and patient maturation. The red wines are just as spectacular, delicate and vibrant, equal to the greatest burgundies.
Wine Made from 60 to 80 year old vines, some of which are not grafted, the 2020 White Mosel Alte Reben Saar Riesling offers, as always, a great complexity combined to a lot of tension and freshness. It is a dry wine (white capsule), a great classic of the Saar that is both tense and precise, and carried by a fresh terroir and beautiful spicy and smoky notes. Elegant and delicate, this great Riesling will accompany seafood or a nice baked fish.
Vinification Hand harvested, special selection of botrytized or not botrytized grapes, maceration of a few hours before fermentation and maturation on lees in large barrels, indigenous yeasts. Dry wine. White capsule.
