Markus Molitor Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese 2017

"The 2017 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese *** (Golden Capsule) is subtle and discreet yet concentrated and deep on the delicate nose, with clear (white) peach, spicy lemon chutney and crystalline slate notes. Lush, piquant and silky, with very clear, elegant fruit and great finesse, this is a rich but lean and precise Wehlener Sonnenuhr whose acidity is terribly fine but defined and merciless as a laser beam. This is a gorgeous and already stimulating Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese of great class and style.” Robert Parker

"At the tender age of 20 Markus Molitor took charge of our estate, which with its 100 ha of vineyard today represents one of the largest family-owned estates of the Mosel. Uncompromising, precise quality craftsmanship – coupled with total respect for nature – are the guiding principle in all our activities in the vineyard and in the cellar. In keeping with the philosophy of natural winegrowing, site-specific individuality, complexity and aging potential, all our wines are fermented with ambient yeasts and without addition of any fining agents or enzymes."
