This Auslese from the Mosel thrives on the balance between sweetness and fresh acidity, and that balance is the key to the table. The sweetness tames salt and strength, so the wine becomes a classic counterpart to powerful blue cheeses and piquant washed-rind cheeses, where the tart freshness simultaneously cuts through the richness. The ripe peach, apricot and citrus notes mirror full-bodied fruit tarts and creamy desserts, and the off-dry character with high acidity also makes it elegant with lightly spiced Asian food, where the sweetness cools chili and fish sauce. Serve preferably in large glasses, so the aromas of honey and white flowers have room to unfold.

About the wine

Made from grapes from the renowned Wehlener Klosterberg field in the Mosel region of Germany. This field is famous for producing some of the finest wines in the world. Here, Markus Molitor has protected the old vines, which have deep roots in the soil, which creates a unique character in the wine.

Harmony between sweetness and acidity is characteristic of Auslese wines from the Mosel region and this wine reflects Markus Molitor's expertise and caring approach to winemaking. Over the years, he has managed to master the art of expressing the unique terroir and the grape's potential in each bottle.

Beautiful golden color.

The scent is intense and inviting with a symphony of ripe peaches, juicy apricots and exotic citrus fruits. Shades of honey and white flowers add a refined elegance to the wine.

The taste is rich and creamy in texture. Abundance of fruit, with sun-ripened peaches and juicy pears. The sweet character is elegantly balanced by a refreshing acidity that gives the wine its liveliness and structure.

Best enjoyed in large glasses.
