{"product_id":"markus-molitor-riesling-wehlener-klosterberg-spatlese-green-capsule-2024","title":"Markus Molitor, Riesling Wehlener Klosterberg Spatlese Green Capsule, 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eGreen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banville Wine Merchants [BAN]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46432358072377,"sku":"NYC-W-BAN-`BJ09691`-083126-234","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Markus-Molitor-Riesling-Wehlener-Klosterberg-Spatlese-Green-Capsule-2024-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1788273668","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/markus-molitor-riesling-wehlener-klosterberg-spatlese-green-capsule-2024","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
