WINE DESCRIPTION
Markus Molitor Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese White Capsule is a premium white wine produced by Markus Molitor, a renowned winemaker from the Mosel region of Germany. The wine is made from Riesling grapes grown in the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr vineyard, which is known for its steep slopes and slate soils that impart a unique minerality to the wine. The grapes are handpicked at optimal ripeness to ensure maximum flavor and complexity. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing and slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the grapes. The resulting wine is a Spätlese, which means it is made from late-harvested grapes and has a slightly sweeter style. The wine is characterized by its vibrant acidity, intense fruit flavors, and a long, lingering finish. It is a perfect match for spicy Asian cuisine or rich, creamy dishes.
