MARCUS MOLITOR HAUS KLOSTERBERG RIESLING 2023

Markus Molitor farms 120 hectares of steep, hand-worked slate slopes across the Middle Mosel and Saar using organic and sustainable practices—one of the region's largest family-run estates, with vines up to 100 years old. The white capsule designates this Haus Klosterberg as dry (trocken), a QbA-level blend sourced from multiple Molitor vineyards and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel and traditional Fuder casks. The 2023 opens with ripe pear and white peach lifted by a faint smokiness, then unfolds on the palate with crisp green apple, lime zest, and the flinty minerality typical of Mosel slate.
