✨ Technical Specifications
Markus Molitor, who took over his family estate in 1984 at the age of twenty, has become one of the Mosel's most visionary winemakers, dedicated to restoring the region's historic prestige. The Kinheimer Rosenberg vineyard, situated on steep, sun-drenched slopes of weathered Devonian slate, yields Riesling of exceptional purity and mineral intensity. This Kabinett is crafted with Molitor's signature precision: hand-harvested grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation in traditional neutral oak fuder casks. The resulting wine is a masterclass in tension, balancing vibrant, electric acidity with delicate orchard fruit and a profound, stony minerality that reflects the dramatic terroir of the Middle Mosel.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded upon an eighth-generation family viticultural heritage, Weingut Markus Molitor was transformed in 1984 when twenty-year-old Markus Molitor took over the estate at Haus Klosterberg with the dedicated mission of restoring Mosel Riesling to its historic world-class stature. Situated in Bernkastel-Kues in Germany's legendary Mosel region, the winery meticulously cultivates precipitous slate vineyards across renowned grand cru sites such as Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, Wehlener Sonnenuhr, and Erdener Treppchen. Molitor practices low yields, ultra-selective late hand-harvesting, and gentle spontaneous fermentation in ancient, deep vaulted cellars with minimal intervention. The estate is globally celebrated for its site-expressive Rieslings—distinguished by white, green, and gold capsules indicating dry, off-dry, and botrytized sweet styles—as well as remarkably complex, structured Pinot Noir.
