At only 7.5 degrees alcohol, the 2020 White Mosel Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese*** offers the type of phenomenal balance and freshness that no other sweet wine can achieve. Indeed, it is a challenge of parity between a precise, remarkably pure frame, dotted with zest notes, and a superb concentration. Tasty, extremely salty, of great definition, this extraordinary sweet wine combines all the attributes of style for an ultra rich yet light tasting. The vibrant finish stimulates the palate with a fine bitterness and prolongs this intense moment. A wine without any equivalent in the world of the great sweet wines and that we strongly recommend.... Rated 97+/100 by Parker.
Markus Molitor, a star of the German Moselle, has raised his estate to the top of the world viticulture rankings. Sought-after by the greatest wine amateurs and critics alike, his wines have gained international recognition, repeatedly rewarded by a 100/100 rating by Parker.
The complex geology, the steepest slopes (up to 80% slope), the red slate soils of volcanic origin or sandstone forge wines of a magnificent purity, always marked by an incredible elegance and structure, harvested at maximum maturity. Divided between dry (white capsule), semi-dry (green capsule) and sweet (gold capsule), the white wines are all masterfully balanced, thanks to a precise and uncompromising vinification, and a long and patient maturation. The red wines are just as spectacular, delicate and vibrant, equal to the greatest burgundies.
