Markus Molitor's vineyards surround their home in Klosterberg. They also have vineyards elsewhere in the Mosel region. These vineyards are certainly unique. The Riesling for this masterpiece comes from a select vineyard, Urziger-Wurzgarten. An authority in the Central Mosel region with a unique terroir. The soil is rich in iron and slate, giving the Riesling grape its unique complexity. Markus Molitor also demonstrates what else they can do with Riesling. The Urziger Würzgarten vineyard is situated on a slope. However, the grapes for Markus Molitor's Riesling Urziger Würzgarten Spatlese come only from the lower vines.
