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.

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.
