Markus Molitor wines for 8 generations

Molitor is a winery that has been run by the family whose surname it bears for eight generations. The last to take the reins, Markus Molitor, decided to take charge of the family winery in 1984, at the age of 20. Markus Molitor has since become a household name in the Mosel region. Thanks to his dedication, the reputation of German wines has grown enormously. Markus Molitor has a particularly strong reputation for Riesling. The winery has around 15 different vineyards. At each vineyard where Riesling is planted, they manage to give the grape a new character. The Klosterberg vineyard was chosen for Markus Molitor Haus Klosterberg Riesling Trocken. This is their largest and most famous vineyard. The wine was given the name Haus Klosterberg because Markus Molitor considers it their "house wine." The vineyards are situated on steep slopes along the banks of the Mosel River. For this wine, a Trocken, the Riesling grapes are grown on the highest slopes, where the climatic conditions give them a dry character.

The aromas of Haus Klosterberg Riesling Trocken

This Riesling Trocken from Markus Molitor is aged for three months on its own lees during vinification. This gives the wine that little something extra. It's completely different from what seasoned Riesling drinkers are used to. Just put your nose in the glass. You'll smell firm pear and a hint of Elstar, combined with minerals and flint. The hint of chamomile and honey on the finish is somewhat surprising, but perfectly suits the character of Markus Molitor Haus Klosterberg Riesling Trocken.
