The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A star of German Moselle, Markus Molitor has elevated his estate to the pinnacle of the global hierarchy. Sought after by the most discerning connoisseurs, his cuvées have gained international recognition, repeatedly acclaimed with Parker's 100/100 rating.

The complex geology, steep slopes (up to 80% gradient), and soils of red volcanic slate or sandstone forge wines with magical purity, always imbued with incredible elegance and structure, harvested at maximum ripeness.
Wine Rated 99/100 by Parker, the Mosel Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese*** White 2020 is a pinnacle of balance and delicacy. Even those who are hesitant about sweet wines should succumb because such cuvées are equal to the myths of the planet... The finesse of the aromas, of pure and ripe fruit, apricot and citrus, the refinement and grace here command respect. The concentrated, creamy structure finds a perfect balance and ideal freshness, with a slightly saline finish. A fabulous Auslese, with an incredible 7% alcohol. All the nuances of precise winemaking, which will keep for many years (unless you succumb to it today).
Vinification Hand harvested at the end of October. Pressing and maceration on their skins. Long and spontaneous fermentation at low temperature. Aging on lees in stainless steel tanks.

Gold capsule. Sweet wine.
