2008er Markus Molitor Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Auslese ** (Golden Capsule)

This month, we highlight an impressive Auslese by Markus Molitor with great inner balance, complexity and finesse.

Even in the cooler 2008 vintage, Weingut Markus Molitor produced a full range of wines, including some high-octane BA, TBA and Eiswein bottlings (to be released only in a few years).

The Estate produced many outstanding wines (see our Issue No 9). In particular, an impressive Auslese ** from the Zeltinger Schlossberg caught our attention through its inner balance, complexity and finesse.

Although still quite closed and reduced, this hints at some gorgeous notes of peaches, apples and pears with a touch of honey in the background for good measure. The wine is powerful yet playful on the palate with a great sense of cool mineral freshness. The finish is zesty and multi-layered with a seemingly endless finish. This is a great success for the vintage. 2016-2033+
