Markus Molitor Wehlener Klosterberg Riesling Spätlese 2022

Markus Molitor Wehlener Klosterberg Riesling Spätlese is praised for its elegant blend of citrus, tropical, and floral notes, with a balanced sweetness and acidity. While some find it refined and versatile, others feel certain vintages lack immediate character. Common flavors include peach, apricot, and honey, with a refreshing minerality. The wine pairs well with diverse cuisines, though some vintages may need time to develop fully.

This Riesling Spätlese captivates with its pale straw hue and an aromatic symphony of ripe apricot, white peach, and a delicate hint of petrol, characteristic of its Mosel origins. On the palate, it unfolds with a luscious, honeyed sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity, creating a harmonious tension. The mid-palate reveals layers of lime zest and mineral undertones, leading to a long, elegant finish with whispers of slate and a touch of salinity. This wine exemplifies the finesse and precision of Mosel Rieslings, offering both immediate pleasure and potential for graceful aging.
