The estate and the wine |
|
|
A shining star of the German Moselle, Markus Molitor has elevated his estate to global acclaim. Coveted by wine connoisseurs worldwide, his wines have garnered international recognition, repeatedly honored with Parker's coveted 100/100 score. And this 2020 Riesling is no exception...
The intricate geology, the steepest slopes (reaching inclines of up to 80%), combined with volcanic-origin red slate and sandstone soils, give birth to wines of enchanting purity. They always carry an unmistakable elegance and remarkable structure, harvested at peak ripeness. Whether dry (with a white capsule), off-dry (green capsule), or sweet (gold capsule), each wine achieves a sublime balance, thanks to meticulous and uncompromising winemaking, complemented by patient and prolonged aging.
For over 35 years, Markus Molitor has been a luminary on the global stage, and tasting his wines is a true privilege. |

100/100 Parker, the 2020 white WC Mosel Erdener Prälat Riesling Auslese *** is impressive in its purity and depth! A mere 8 ares underpin the excellence of this cuvée; a lentil of terroir that finds no equivalent on the planet and forges this exceptional wine. Robert Parker's review is dithyrambic, and for good reason: concentration, delicate aromas of mint, ripe fruit, zest and smoke come together in perfect balance. The wine's crystalline quality and delicacy do not mask its power, and that's where its success lies. Spectacular, intense and, of course, long-lasting. |

Hand harvested. Natural fermentation in oak barrels, followed by several months' ageing on fine lees in oak barrels. Capsule Blanche, hence the initials WC for White Capsule. |
