WINE DESCRIPTION

Markus Molitor Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is a premium wine produced by Markus Molitor, a renowned winemaker from the Mosel region of Germany. The wine is made from Riesling grapes grown in the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard, which is known for its steep slopes and slate soils that impart a unique minerality to the wine. The grapes are harvested late, allowing them to develop a rich and complex flavor profile. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing and slow fermentation to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the grapes. The resulting wine is a classic Mosel Riesling, with a vibrant acidity, intense fruit flavors, and a long, elegant finish. It is a perfect match for spicy Asian cuisine or rich seafood dishes.
