The 2019 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese Gold Cap greets the nose with layered aromas of apricot preserves, candied citrus, honeysuckle, and warm spice, woven with slate and wet stone minerality. On the palate it is generous yet finely tuned—lush stone fruit, honeyed notes, and a core of citrus tension held in check by refreshing acidity. The finish is long and crystalline, with residual sweetness elegantly balanced by mineral lift. This is a refined, majestic Auslese with serious potential.

Weingut Markus Molitor is among Germany’s most acclaimed estates, known for its mastery of Riesling across the Mosel. Molitor applies a strict classification system in the cellar, reserving the “Gold Cap” designation for the most exceptional Auslese selections—only the finest, botrytized clusters are chosen. The estate combines traditional practices (hand-harvesting, native yeasts, long aging) with meticulous sorting and site differentiation, giving each wine clarity, depth, and a strong sense of terroir. Molitor is praised for producing Rieslings that evolve gracefully, balancing power, precision, and vibrant acidity.
