97 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
Read
According to Markus Molitor, the 2017 Riesling Urziger W?rzgarten Auslese ** (Golden Capsule) is made from entirely healthy grapes. It displays a highly attractive bouquet of fine grapefruit and raisin aromas intermixed with flinty-crystalline slate notes. Juicy on the palate, this is a dense, sweet, intense yet piquant, highly delicate Auslese with a long, refined and salty-crunchy finish. Tasted at the domain two times in April 2019.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
97-point liquid gold at the best price you'll find on one of the all-star iconoclasts of the Mosel. The 2017s from Molitor are beyond reproach. Surprisingly, there is no botrytis on this Auslese. As Wine Advocate notes, "Juicy on the palate, this is a dense, sweet, intense yet piquant, highly delicate Auslese with a long, refined and salty-crunchy finish." 97 points! We have just a handful of cases of this rare gem, grab it while we have it.
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!
