2013 Mosel Riesling

Markus Molitor Zeltinger Sonnenhur Three Star is a captivating white Riesling from the renowned Mosel region, showcasing the elegance of the 2013 vintage. This exquisite wine presents a bright, pale straw color with alluring golden highlights. On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of ripe stone fruit, such as juicy peach and apricot, harmoniously intertwined with delicate floral notes and a hint of minerality characteristic of its terroir. The wine is beautifully balanced, with a refreshing acidity that elevates its fruit-forward profile, while remaining bone dry on the palate. With a medium body, it delights with a vibrant mouthfeel and a lingering finish that leaves you yearning for another sip. This is a delightful representation of Mosel Riesling, perfect for pairing with light seafood dishes or enjoyed on its own as a refreshing treat.

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.
