✨ Technical Specifications
The Markus Molitor Assortment Case represents a masterclass in the diverse, steep-slope terroirs of Germany's Mosel region. Markus Molitor took over his family's estate in 1984 at just 20 years old, driven by an uncompromising ambition to return Mosel Riesling to its golden age of age-worthy, terroir-driven excellence. This curated collection typically showcases a range of exceptional single-vineyard white wines, primarily Riesling, harvested from legendary, near-vertical slate sites such as the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr and Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Molitor's signature philosophy relies on extremely late, meticulous hand-harvesting, spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts, and patient aging in traditional large oak 'Fuder' casks. The wines are famously color-coded by capsule: white for bone-dry, green for off-dry, and gold for sweet, offering an unparalleled sensory journey through the mineral-rich, tension-filled, and aromatic spectrum of the 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.
