Markus Molitor’s 2022 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel surges with ripe exotic fruit, citrus zest and floral honey, wrapped in a remarkably dense, sweet yet electric structure. The palate is viscous and deeply concentrated, but lifted by a precise line of acidity and a subtle, appetizing bitterness that keeps the endless finish vibrant and focused.

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.
