{"product_id":"markus-molitor-riesling-urziger-wurzgarten-kabinett-gold-capsule-2023","title":"Markus Molitor, Riesling Urziger Wurzgarten Kabinett Gold Capsule, 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eGold capsule, and in Markus Molitor's code that means sweet: this is a classic fruity-sweet Mosel Kabinett, not an off-dry one. Molitor distinguishes his dry, off-dry and sweet Rieslings only by the colour of the capsule, white for dry, green for off-dry, gold for sweet, which is worth knowing because the word Kabinett describes how ripe the grapes were at harvest, not how sweet the wine is; he makes bone-dry Kabinett too. Urziger Wurzgarten, the spice garden of Urzig, is the Mosel's great oddity, a steep south-facing slope of red, iron-rich weathered slate and volcanic rock rather than the region's usual blue-grey, and it gives Riesling a rounder, spicier, fleshier shape than its neighbours. 2023 brought a wet late summer that forced brutal sorting on the Mosel, but growers who got clean fruit into the cellar made wines of unusual harmony, with acidity that flows rather than bites. Alcohol stays low and the sweetness is buoyant rather than heavy, which makes this as good before dinner as with it. Serve it properly cold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banville Wine Merchants [BAN]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46432447266873,"sku":"NYC-W-BAN-`BAN`-083126-235","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/IMG-4535.jpg?v=1790207097","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/markus-molitor-riesling-urziger-wurzgarten-kabinett-gold-capsule-2023","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
