History by Markus Molitor
The Molitor family has a deep-rooted history in winemaking that spans many generations. Markus Molitor represents the eighth generation of the Molitor legacy. The family's involvement in wine growing in the Moselle goes back to the 18th century. Markus Molitor officially took over the family estate in 1984 at the age of 20. Located in the Mosel wine region, the estate features steep vineyards along the Mosel River, a characteristic feature of the region. The Mosel is known for its steep, terraced vineyards. The slopes ensure optimal sunlight exposure and are an integral part of the unique terroir of the wines produced in this region.
Production by Markus Molitor
Markus Molitor has consciously chosen to focus on the Riesling grape variety, which is particularly well suited to the cool climate and slate soils of the Mosel. Riesling is known for its expressive aromatics, acidity and ability to reflect the terroir. Under the leadership of Markus Molitor, the estate underwent significant expansion and modernization. New vineyards were acquired and existing ones were carefully managed to ensure the highest quality fruit. Markus Molitor produces a wide range of Rieslings covering the Prädikat levels, which indicates the ripeness of the grapes at harvest. The portfolio includes dry styles (Trocken), semi-dry and sweet wines, which emphasize the versatility of Riesling. The estate is known for its emphasis on wines from one specific vineyard. These wines highlight the distinctive characteristics of specific vineyards, known as "Grosses Gewächs" or "Erste Lage." Markus Molitor's dedication to quality and the unique expression of the terroir has earned the estate international fame. The wines are sought after by collectors and enthusiasts for their authenticity and age-worthy characteristics. Markus Molitor respects traditional winemaking methods, including careful manual harvesting and gentle processing of the grapes. At the same time, he applies modern techniques to further improve the quality of the wines.
