Product Description
Markus Molitor's Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese*** Off Dry 2016 comes from vines over 100 years old, fermented in an eight-year-old Stockinger vat plus small oak barrels—a hallmark of the estate's terroir-first approach since 1984.
Wine Advocate's Stephan Reinhardt calls it "exotic" with intense slate minerality, "super smooth and full-bodied, powerful—a bomb!" Round and lush, with ripe stone fruit, honeyed depth and fine acidity, this off-dry Riesling Auslese offers huge ageing potential.
