“The Sun Dial of Zeltingen” Zeltinger Sonnenuhr

The sundial vineyard of the municipality of Zeltingen is located directly at the end of the village and borders the Wehlener sundial. The location is oriented to the southwest and directly towards the Moselle. The floor is made of slate. The vines are between 110 and 160 meters above sea level. This Auslese *** hails from old parts of this famous vineyard, including some ungrafted vines of up to 100 years of age.

Markus Molitor is currently the largest property owner within this very famous small vineyard site (only 20 hectares) recognized as one of the best ones along the Middle Mosel. The soil consists of layers of complex minerals, including the very distinctive blue Devon slate. The grapes were softly crushed and macerated for several hours on the skins. After maceration, the juice was fermented in large wooden barrels using only natural yeast. The wine rests on the lees following fermentation producing a balanced and aromatic wine.
