Markus Molitor: Defining Mosel Riesling Excellence

For eight generations, the Markus Molitor estate has embodied the soul of Mosel winemaking. Founded in Bernkastel-Kues and personally guided by Markus Molitor since 1984, this family estate crafts benchmark Rieslings from some of Germany's most revered vineyards.

Exceptional Vineyards and Terroir

The estate's steep, slate-rich vineyards - including legendary sites like Bernkasteler Doctor and Erdener Treppchen - produce Rieslings of remarkable precision and longevity. Many parcels feature ungrafted vines over 100 years old, yielding wines with intense minerality and depth while maintaining vibrant acidity.

Artisanal Winemaking

Each wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation in traditional oak casks, with no additives or fining agents. This minimalist approach preserves the pure expression of each vineyard, resulting in Rieslings that range from crisp dry styles to exquisite noble sweet wines.

With eight perfect 100-point scores from Robert Parker and recognition as "Winery of the Year" (Eichelmann, Falstaff), Markus Molitor represents the pinnacle of German winemaking. These ageworthy, terroir-driven Rieslings continue to set the standard for Mosel excellence.
