The fruit comes from his oldest vines, eighty to a hundred years old, on the steep slate slopes strung between Brauneberg and Traben-Trarbach in the Middle Mosel. Molitor took over the family estate in 1984 at the age of twenty and grew a few hectares into roughly a hundred across the steepest terraces of the Mosel and Saar, working with hand harvests, ambient yeasts and old wooden casks in a cellar carved three levels into the slate. Here the grapes get a few hours on their skins before a spontaneous fermentation and a long rest on the lees, which gives the wine breadth alongside the cut. 2022 was hot and desperately dry until autumn rain and cool nights arrived to stretch the harvest out, and Mosel Riesling came in ripe but bright. Serve it cool rather than ice-cold and it will run right through dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banville Wine Merchants [BAN]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46432358039609,"sku":"NYC-W-BAN-`BJ08428`-083126-233","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Markus-Molitor-Riesling-Alte-Reben-White-Capsule-2022-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1788447163","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/markus-molitor-alte-reben-riesling-white-capsule-2022","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
