Power surges through the 2020 Markus Molitor Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese while it floats across the palate with almost weightless grace, saturating it with layers of ripe stone fruit, citrus oil and crystalline sweetness. Behind the opulence lies a firm, slate-driven backbone and pinpoint acidity that keep every detail in focus, leading to an extraordinarily long, intricate finish that already fascinates but clearly promises even greater complexity with long cellaring.

Markus Molitor’s Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese is a richly concentrated yet filigreed Mosel Auslese from the steep, blue-slate soils of the celebrated Zeltinger Sonnenuhr; it marries ripe stone‑fruit and honeyed botrytised notes with bright, slicing acidity and a salty, flinty mineral spine. The wine shows the site’s trademark elegance and tension—luscious and fragrant on the palate but kept perfectly fresh by crystalline acidity—making it both a dessert companion and a long‑living bottle of terroir‑driven Riesling.
