NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Markus Molitor Ockfener Bockstein Riesling Kabinett shows perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.Zesty citrus flavors dominate, with layers of lemon zest, tangerine, and underripe peach, accompanied by a refreshing minerality reminiscent of wet stones. The sweetness is restrained, providing a gentle counterpoint to the lively acidity, resulting in a beautifully harmonious mouthfeel. The finish is long and lingering, with the acidity leaving a mouthwatering sensation and as the flavors gradually fade, a final note of flinty minerality lingers on the palate, leaving a lasting impression of the wine's elegance and finesse.
This is a superb example of Mosel Riesling, showcasing purity of fruit, precise balance, and a profound sense of place. Enjoyable now, yet with the potential for graceful aging, this wine exemplifies the timeless appeal of German Rieslings.
