2019 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese ** Weisskapsel

A dry Auslese from the legendary Zeltinger Sonnenuhr vineyard, with great depth, minerality and longevity.

Molitor's Weisskapsel wine denotes a dry style (trocken), despite the Auslese designation. The grapes come from old vines in the steep, blue slate soils of the Sonnenuhr region. Optimal exposure and low yields create a combination of ripeness and tension. Vinification is carried out parcel by parcel with great attention to detail, followed by maturation that enhances structure and precision.

The Zeltinger Sonnenuhr vineyard

Zeltinger Sonnenuhr is one of the most iconic vineyards on the Mosel. The steep slopes of weathered blue slate create a pronounced minerality and characteristic saline tension. In warm vintages, the vineyard yields intensely concentrated yet always elegant Rieslings with excellent cellaring potential.

Color, smell and taste

In the glass, the wine displays a bright golden yellow color. The nose is deep and layered with ripe stone fruit, citrus zest, floral notes, and a subtle spiciness. On the palate, the attack is powerful and concentrated, followed by crystalline acidity that creates tension. The structure is taut and mineral, with a salty undertone and an exceptionally long, precise finish. Despite its intensity, the wine remains refined and elegant.
