The largest and most important is the Klosterberg vineyard, located directly behind the winery. Markus Molitor also calls the wines from this vineyard Haus Klosterberg, as he considers them the winery's house wines (without the negative connotations). The Pinot Noir planted here thrives.

Truly a wine in a class of its own, a wine that few other Rieslings even come close to.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The wines of Markus Molitor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nAlthough the winery has been around for eight generations, it's the most recent addition, coincidentally Markus Molitor, who has truly given it the cachet it deserves. He took the helm in 1984 at the age of twenty and has been busy in the nearly forty years that followed. Markus Molitor is now a major player in the Mosel region, producing some of the finest wines from the Riesling grape.\n\n\n\n This Markus Molitor Kinheimer Hubertuslay Fruchtsuss Auslese*** comes from a unique vineyard located in the Middle Mosel region. The Hubertuslay vineyard is situated on an extremely steep, south-facing slope. The soil is predominantly dark slate. The vines specifically for this wine are planted at the bottom of the slope. Here, the grapes ripen faster, resulting in a sweeter wine. This allows us to call this Auslese sweeter than any other Auslese. This principle is also known as Fruchsuss.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Impressions of Markus Molitor Kinheimer Hubertuslay Fruchtsuss Auslese***\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe three stars behind the name are personally awarded by Markus Molitor. Before harvest, he inspects and classifies the grapes in the vineyards. Only the best grapes receive one, two, or three stars. This Markus Molitor Kinheimer Hubertuslay Fruchtsuss Auslese*** has the highest score, and each grape is therefore specially selected. This incredibly labor-intensive work certainly yields results. A true spectacle from start to finish. You smell a hint of candied fruit combined with dried apricots and soft pear. But this Markus Molitor wine also has a certain complexity. Think pencil shavings, minerals, and a touch of smoky. A true gastronomic masterpiece that makes our vinologists incredibly happy.","brand":"Verbunt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775871651919,"sku":"13334","price":86.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/markus-molitor-kinheimer-hubertuslay-fruchtsuss-auslese_13334.webp?v=1771588911"},{"product_id":"markus-molitor-riesling-urziger-wurzgarten-kabinett","title":"Markus Molitor Riesling Urziger Würzgarten Kabinett","description":"A distinguished glass of wine from the prestigious Markus Molitor winery.

They possess a wealth of expertise. The current owner, coincidentally named Markus Molitor, took over from his father in 1984. He was only twenty years old at the time. In less than forty years, he has built Markus Molitor Winery into an authority on Riesling. A remarkable 94 percent of all grapevines now belong to the incredibly beloved Riesling.\n\n\n \nFor this Markus Molitor Riesling Urziger Würzgarten Kabinett, the grapes are sourced from the impressive Urziger Würzgarten vineyard, which produces exceptional wines thanks to its unique terroir. Situated on a steep slope, the vineyard is divided into three levels. The grapes for this white wine grow on the lowest level, the Fruchtsuss. These grapes yield the most fruit and give the wine a slightly sweet touch. However, this is a Kabinett wine, meaning the grapes are harvested early and not yet as sweet. This makes this wine considerably drier than its younger sibling, the Markus Molitor Riesling Urziger Würzgarten Spatlese.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Impressions of Markus Molitor Riesling Urziger Würzgarten Kabinett\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis drier character also adds complexity.

All of this is enveloped in a slightly smoky sauce, making Markus Molitor Riesling Urziger Würzgarten Kabinett a gastronomic wonder.","brand":"Verbunt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775885152335,"sku":"13335","price":23.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/markus-molitor-riesling-urziger-wurzgarten-kabinett_13335.webp?v=1771588919"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/collections\/Markus_Molitor.webp?v=1767170139","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/collections\/wijnhuis-weingut-markus-molitor.oembed","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
