Markus Molitor Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese*** Gold Capsule 2016  - First Bottle

Reviews

99 Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate -
The 2016 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese *** (Golden Capsule) indicates gorgeously ripe and lush Riesling fruit with very fine flinty slate aromas that add freshness, finesse and complexity. This nose is incredibly pure and precise and doesn`t indicate any botrytis. The palate is highly elegant and fine but, at the same time, lush and salty with a highly delicate but persistent structure. The finish is mouthwatering and enormously stimulating. This Wehlener Sonnenuhr is another extremely digestible yet complex Auslese that you can drink in large amounts without getting bored or tired. The acidity is so delicate and fine here and lets this gold-capsuled Auslese dance over your palate. I just love it. Bottled September 2017; tasted March 2018. -- Stephan Reinhardt, March 2018
97 James Suckling -
Tons of exotic and citrus fruit, but it also has more than enough power and creaminess to give it the stature to stand next to the best white wines of the world. The lemon cream finish follows, making it hard to resist. A massive finish. Drink or hold.

About the Producer

In 1984, at the tender age of 20, Markus Molitor took over his father's winery with a clear aim: to produce Mosel Rieslings under the name "Molitor" in the tradition of eight generations and in the same quality that made the region world-famous 100 years ago. The wines are terroir-specific, unmistakable and extremely ageable. One of our favorite Mosel producers here at First Bottle!
