Markus Molitor Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Beerenauslese * Gold Capsule 2017 (half bottle 375mL)

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! The approx. 23-hectare steep slope with a south-south-west orientation has a medium-sized clay-slate weathered soil with a high proportion of stone. The special feature of the Sonnenuhr is the largely unadjusted, ancient vineyards with unrooted vines. Wines from the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr are incredibly elegant, delicate, with play and a filigree acid structure.
