Tasting Note

This reveals some ripe fruits including pineapple, passion fruit, yellow peach, greengage and a touch of mango packed into smoke and minty herbs on the nose at this early stage. The wine coats the palate with ample juicy and creamy fruits. Long and smooth mineral finish, only waiting to come out at maturity.

Product Notes

Weingut Markus Molitor Urziger Wurzgarten Spatlese is a notable, medium-bodied white wine from Germany. Boasting a golden hue, it boasts a harmonious balance of acidity and sweetness, which abounds with flavours of ripe peaches, apples, and subtle hints of honey. The nose is imbued with a mix of stone fruit and mineral undertones, reflecting the Mosel Valley's distinctive terroir. These offerings promise a velvety mouthfeel, leading to a lingering finish. This exceptional Spatlese, steeped from late-harvest Riesling grapes, pairs splendidly with spicy foods and strong cheeses, encapsulating the sublime legacy of Markus Molitor winery.

About the Winery

Weingut Markus Molitor

Situated in the idyllic landscape of Germany's Mosel Valley, Weingut Markus Molitor Winery is a beacon of viticulture excellence. The Molitor family has had vinous roots in the region since 1780, but it was Markus Molitor who truly brought the winery to the forefront of German wine production in 1984.

Characterised by its singular vision of producing high-quality, Riesling wines, Weingut Markus Molitor is a testament to welt-class wine-making. The winery engenders the techniques of organic viticulture, eschewing synthetic pesticides and fertilisers in favour of traditional methods.

There is a unique approach to the wine-making. Rather than adhering to standard classifications, Markus Molitor follows his own qualitative hallmark. Wines are classified based on maturity and residual sweetness, rather than the quality of the vineyard. Each wine's label is marked with a distinctive colour: white for dry, green for off-dry, and gold for sweet.

The emphasis at Weingut Markus Molitor is creating wines with depth and longevity. The Mosel region's climate, coupled with the winery's south-facing slate slopes, make for optimal grape growing conditions. This, in turn, delivers a rich diversity in the tasting profile.

Visitors to the winery are greeted by an enthralling sight, the beautiful combination of architectural prowess and stunning natural views. Elegantly straddling the line between modern aesthetic and historic charm, the winery boasts a cellar that stretches back to the 12th century. For those with a fondness of both the world of wine, and historical artefacts, will find Markus Molitor an enchanting visit.

Connecting taut precision with a daring energy in winemaking, Weingut Markus Molitor celebrates the singular tastes and textures of Riesling like no other. The serenity and hospitality extended by the winery coupled with the exquisiteness of its wines, offer a wine-tasting adventure that's virtually unparalleled.
