Sommelier recommends
“The nose reveals aromas of saffron, honey, lime, and subtle smoky notes. On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced, with nuances of peach, apricot, and tropical fruits. The finish is long and juicy.” — Ronalds Pētersons, Sommelier at Noble Wine7 in stock
Markus Molitor Ockfener Bockstein Riesling Kabinett Fruchtsüss 2021 1.5L is an elegant, fruit-sweet white wine from Germany's Mosel region, crafted from 100% Riesling grapes. The fruit originates from the prestigious Ockfener Bockstein vineyard in the Saar Valley, where steep slopes and slate-rich soils contribute distinctive minerality and freshness. The Kabinett classification highlights the wine's lightness and finesse, while Fruchtsüss indicates a naturally fruit-sweet style balanced by vibrant acidity. The 2021 vintage is distinguished by remarkable freshness, aromatic precision, and excellent ageing potential. Presented in a 1.5-litre Magnum bottle, it is an elegant choice for special occasions and extended cellaring.
The nose reveals aromas of green apple, white peach, lime, and ripe apricot, complemented by delicate notes of white blossom, honey, and slate minerality. On the palate, the wine is light-bodied, juicy, and beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity and elegant fruit sweetness. Fresh citrus flavours intertwine with peach, apple, and mineral nuances. The finish is long, refreshing, and harmonious, with a delightful balance between sweetness and acidity.
An excellent match for spicy Asian dishes such as Thai green curry, ginger chicken, and chilli prawns. The wine’s natural sweetness softens the heat of chilli, while its lively acidity refreshes the palate.
It also pairs beautifully with duck liver pâté, mildly spicy cheeses, blue cheese, and fruit-based desserts such as peach tart. The harmonious interplay of sweetness and acidity makes it a versatile companion to both savoury and gently sweet dishes.
