Mission Codename Golden MM***

We’ve been waiting for these for a long, long time!

Riesling! Mosel too, where it truly thrives. “Absolutely world-class Rieslings and worth any effort to find at least some bottles of these stunning beauties” is what Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate claims and we could not agree more, which is why we jumped on every bottle they let us snatch for you. And us, we did stock up our own stashes, so it’s your turn, hopefully, we left you enough.

WA continues… “Readers should be aware that labor costs alone for the noble sweet wines are higher than many family Domaines have to pay for the whole harvest. In four weeks, up to 40 workers select daily, evening by evening, up to three hours, selecting raisin by raisin. There is no greater luxury in wine than in a Molitor 3-star Auslese…”

Adding that… “Riesling lovers should take every chance to buy some of Molitor 3-star Auslese selections which are available in reasonable price categories. These are terrific wines…” And on the 2019s they emphasize “Here is another collection like no other from one of the world’s greatest winemakers. From the 2019 vintage, no less than 17 Molitor Rieslings earned 98-100 points… Four three-starred 2019 Riesling Auslese have again hit the perfect 100 RP score.”

Drumroll… for our favorite of these utterly PERFECT wines!

100 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

“The golden-colored 2019 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese ** (Golden Capsule) opens with an intense yet highly finessed and elegant bouquet of perfectly ripe, tropical fruits intermixed with very fine weathered slate aromas. This fascinating combination of richness and finesse is also mirrored on the palate, which is immediately lush and round, then intense and concentrated but always lifted and refined by this beautifully crystalline and grippy slate structure. This Auslese is still a raw diamond but will surely develop to a spellbinding character over the years. Another fabulous 2019 Auslese from Markus Molitor’s most loved vineyard. Drink 2026-2080.”
