Trarbacher Schlossberg Qba 2 Stars

2011 Mosel Pinot Noir

Markus Molitor's Trarbacher Schlossberg Qba 2 Stars is a remarkable Pinot Noir hailing from the picturesque Mosel region. This red wine dazzles with a vibrant and inviting color that hints at its depth. On the palate, it showcases a medium body that elegantly balances richness with a refreshing quality, making it incredibly enjoyable. The acidity is lively, contributing to a mouthwatering experience that brightens the flavors without overwhelming them. With medium fruit intensity, the wine reveals delightful notes of red berries and subtle earthiness, which are beautifully complemented by a delicate tannin structure that adds finesse. The dryness of this wine is well-executed, allowing the bright fruit and elegant minerality to shine through. This wine is not only a testament to the unique terroir of the Mosel but also a celebration of the artistry behind crafting exceptional Pinot Noir.

When it comes to quality Riesling, few places can rival Germany's Mosel region. This sheer-sided valley in Germany parallels the river of the same name and is home to some of the world's steepest vineyards. Riesling grown here is prized throughout the world for its slight sweetness, perfectly balanced by crisp acidity and aromatic floral perfume. Notes of green fruit and Meyer lemon add to the pleasant tang, with mineral touches of wet slate, beeswax and—in some aged examples—even petroleum too. It is all thanks to Mosel's very cool climate. Temperatures in the summer often don't even rise above 65 degrees. This allows for a long growing season, concentrating flavors and creating beautiful acidity.
