Markus Molitor Riesling “Haus Klosterberg” Feinherb 2022
On tasting, the 2021 vintage offers an expressive nose of ripe citrus fruits, green apple, and floral hints, underscored by a pronounced mineral streak reflective of its slate-driven terroir. The palate is met with a vibrant acidity and a full-bodied richness, revealing layers of lemon zest, stone fruit, and a touch of herbal notes, culminating in a long, dry, and mineral-laden finish. This wine’s sophisticated interplay of fruit concentration and crisp dryness showcases Molitor’s skill in achieving balance and intensity in his wines.
Pairing the Markus Molitor Riesling “Bernkasteler Lay” Spätlese Trocken with rich seafood dishes, such as lobster bisque or scallops in a creamy sauce, can complement the wine’s robust character and minerality. Additionally, it pairs exquisitely with spicy Asian cuisines, where its acidity and depth can balance the heat and complexity of the flavors. These food pairings not only highlight the wine’s versatility but also its capability to elevate a diverse range of culinary experiences, making it a superb choice for discerning wine enthusiasts.
