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.

Dr. Katharina Prüm has fully embraced her role in the family's winemaking business, tending to the 22-hectare estate in prime Middle Mosel locations. The Prüm family's meticulous care remains focused on their vineyards, considered the sole source of exceptional wines. Their legendary cellar is off-limits to outsiders, preserving the mystique of their winemaking. Manfred and Katharina believe the cellar's role is to capture the vineyard's unique quality authentically in the bottle. J. J. Prüm crafts traditionally fruity wines with moderate natural residual sweetness, balanced by high acidity, race, and minerality. While youthful inaccessibility is a trade-off for aging potential, mature vintages reveal these wines' greatness, transcending unique aromas to achieve world-class status.
