One of the Mosel's most valuable producers, Molitor, is back with a fantastic set of 2019s after a very successful 2018 vintage. These incredibly tactile and refined wines show the dynamic of ripe fruit, racy acids, profound minerality, and gentle sweetness. Today we have one of Molitor's top wines of the vintage, and it is also the first time we have ever offered this wine. Located not far from Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, Zeltinger Schlossberg is steep south-west facing vineyard that is approximately 21 hectares with soils comprised of dark slate. The Schlossberg vineyard might not have the prestige that comes with the Sonnenuhr but is a fantastic site for Molitor producing powerful wines with invigorating acidity and robust minerality while elegant and pure. 2019 is the best Gold Cap Auslese Molitor has ever made from this vineyard and is a textbook example of the beauty of this site. One of the not-to-miss wines from Molitor in 2019, we have an excellent price on this extraordinary Auslese effort.
Wine Advocate (Stephan Reinhardt) 99 points! "The lemon-yellow to golden 2019 Zeltinger Schlossberg Auslese *** (Golden Capsule) offers a fascinating fresh and concentrated nose with very fine berry and lemon aromas intertwined with crunchy blue-slate notes. Lush, refined and piquant on the palate, this is a highly elegant and stimulating Auslese with a dense yet tensioned texture and great terroir expression. A fabulous, highly stimulating Riesling whose sweetness is just ripe and concentrated Riesling fruit! Tasted in May 2021."
