Markus Molitor, a star of the German Moselle, has raised his estate to the top of the world viticulture rankings. Sought-after by the greatest wine amateurs and critics alike, his wines have gained international recognition, repeatedly rewarded by a 100/100 rating by Parker.
The complex geology, the steepest slopes (up to 80% slope), the red slate soils of volcanic origin or sandstone forge wines of a magnificent purity, always marked by an incredible elegance and structure, harvested at maximum maturity. Divided between dry (white capsule), semi-dry (green capsule) and sweet (gold capsule), the white wines are all masterfully balanced, thanks to a precise and uncompromising vinification, and a long and patient maturation. The red wines are just as spectacular, delicate and vibrant, equal to the greatest burgundies.
