WINE DESCRIPTION
Markus Molitor Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spätlese is a fine representation of German winemaking prowess. Produced by Markus Molitor, this Spätlese Riesling hails from the esteemed Bernkasteler Badstube vineyard, renowned for its fine-grained slate soil and exceptional water retention capabilities. The wine showcases intense aromatics of pure elegance, with subtle notes of stone fruits and delicate slate nuances. On the palate, it offers a crystal-clear, lively experience, marrying purity with intensity and elegance. The wine's vinification process is meticulous, with grapes harvested in October, followed by gentle pressing and spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This results in a wine of remarkable freshness, vibrant fruitiness, and a tantalizingly long, saline finish. With its potential to age gracefully for over 30 years, this Riesling exemplifies the best of the Bernkasteler Badstube terroir and Markus Molitor's commitment to excellence in winemaking.
