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.
🍾 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.
