Saarburger Rausch Auslese ***

2017 Mosel Riesling

Markus Molitor Saarburger Rausch Auslese is a stunning white wine crafted from the renowned Riesling varietal, hailing from the prestigious Mosel region of Germany. This 2017 vintage showcases a beautiful pale gold hue that gleams in the glass, inviting you to savor its delights. On the palate, it presents a luscious, full-bodied experience, delivering a delightful balance of ripe stone fruit notes, particularly peach and apricot, intertwined with vibrant acidity that keeps the wine refreshing and lively. The fruit intensity is prominent, complemented by a touch of honeyed sweetness, making it incredibly mouthwatering. With a delicate structure, the wine possesses subtle tannins that add to its finesse, and it finishes off-dry, leaving a lingering impression of elegance and harmony. This exceptional Auslese not only exemplifies the exceptional terroir of the Saarburger Rausch vineyard but also stands as a testament to the artistry of Markus Molitor in winegrowing.

Riesling is the most famous varietal in Germany, and is made in a range of styles, from dry and steely to sweet and peachy. The wines are classified according to the region as well as how much sugar is in each wine. Aside from the aromatic Riesling, you will also find subtle, refreshing whites made from local grapes like the floral Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner. Germany also produces some increasingly excellent red wine, mostly crisp and brightly fruity Pinot Noir (locally known as Spätburgunder).
