Markus Molitor, often referred to as 'Herr 100 Points,' is legendary for preserving the historic, steep-slope viticulture of the Mosel valley. The Graacher Domprobst vineyard, named after the cathedral provost (Domprobst) of Trier who once held the historic tithing rights to this land, is renowned for its deep, water-rich Devonian slate soils. This unique terroir imparts a profound mineral tension and structural elegance to the Riesling grape. Molitor's unique color-coded capsule system uses a white capsule to signify a dry (trocken) style. Crafted with meticulous hand-harvesting, extremely selective picking, and spontaneous fermentation in traditional large oak Fuder casks, this Kabinett represents a masterclass in precision. It beautifully balances razor-sharp acidity with a stony, flinty depth and delicate green apple and wet stone aromas.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Taking over his family's estate in 1984 at just twenty years old, Markus Molitor set out to restore the Mosel region's historic prestige through uncompromising quality and traditional craftsmanship. Based at the historic Haus Klosterberg in Bernkastel-Kues, the winery meticulously farms steep, slate-rich vineyards across the Mosel and Saar, utilizing extremely late hand-harvesting and spontaneous fermentation in neutral oak Fuder casks. Molitor is globally renowned for his precise, mineral-driven Rieslings—distinguished by white, green, and gold capsules indicating dryness levels—as well as his structured, elegant Spätburgunder. This obsessive dedication to terroir has earned the estate numerous perfect 100-point scores, cementing its status as an icon of German winemaking.
