Markus Molitor : GOC Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese*** 2022

The 2022 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese *** (Golden Capsule) is very clear, refined and elegant on the nose that shows perfectly ripe fruit reminiscent of lush peaches. Intense yet crystalline and thus refined and uplifted, this is a very elegant yet tensioned and stimulatingly frisky Auslese with precise and savory fruit. There is great finesse and weightlessness here. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024 from AP 49 23.

Here’s a very lush and sensual Mosel Auslese that nonetheless glides gracefully over the medium- to full-bodied palate making the wine seem lighter and more delicate than it really is. Really concentrated dried peach and candied pineapple runs right through the long, beautifully balanced finish. Drink or hold.

Depth, intensity and subtlety can create harmony—this Auslese from Markus Molitor is proof! With earthy, root-like nuances, peppermint, hints of truffle, aromas of roasted pineapple and notes of stone fruit, the complexity is at its peak! The palate echoes it beautifully, staying the course toward delicacy and fine detail. This wine is the result of a perfect symbiosis, where the ties between sweetness and acidity only further acclaim its greatness and potential. A captivating, powerful and dense wine, knocking on the door of immortality!
