The 2017 Riesling Urziger Wurzgarten Spatlese (Golden Capsule) is complex and mineral on the densely woven yet fresh and crunchy-herbal nose. It's a dense, concentrated, piquant and structured Spatlese with lush and ripe fruit whose sweetness is nearly completely absorbed by the Wurzgarten raciness and iron-rich terroir character. This is a fabulous Spatlese! Tasted in April 2019.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
This is a brilliant score today that ANY serious Riesling fan should JUMP on, and if you’re simply Riesling-curious, the same goes for you --- we made it EASY! $28! It’s astounding. Fun fact: In 2017, Molitor's wines scored FIVE 100s, EIGHT 99s, TEN 98s from Wine Advocate...I mean...these wines in this vintage are just off-the-charts!
Eight generations. 37 hectares of spectacular vineyards spread across 15 classic sites from Bernkastel and Graach to Wehlen and Zeltingen. Extreme dedication. Highly ageable. Heaps of critical acclaim. These are all part of the Molitor legacy, and with the stunning 2017s, the bar is raised yet again.
The classic Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Spatlese Gold Capsule we have today will ROCK you. We bought an amazingly well-priced parcel in Germany some months back, and it has just landed in the warehouse. You MUST have some. Here is the review: “95 points...complex and mineral on the densely woven yet fresh and crunchy-herbal nose.

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!
