Markus Molitor, Riesling Wehlener Klosterberg Spatlese Green Capsule, 2024
Markus Molitor, Riesling Wehlener Klosterberg Spatlese Green Capsule, 2024 is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Green capsule: in Markus Molitor's code that is the middle setting, off-dry, between his white capsules (dry) and gold capsules (sweet). It is the single most useful thing to know about his labels, because Spatlese tells you only that the grapes were picked late and ripe, not how sweet the wine ends up. Wehlener Klosterberg is the estate's home vineyard, roughly twenty-four hectares of steep, south-facing stony Devonian slate with a high iron content and woodland at the top of the hill that helps the vines through dry spells; it gives elegant, racy, deeply mineral Riesling built to last. Molitor took over in 1984 at twenty and grew a few family hectares into around a hundred of the steepest Mosel and Saar slopes. 2024 was a hard year here, with April frost and a cool, wet summer cutting the crop by about a third, but the fruit came in healthy and the wines have lovely stable acidity and lift. Off-dry Riesling is the most useful bottle in the fridge, and this one will happily sit there for a few days once opened.

WINE GUIDES
German Wines
Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
