Product Notes

Weingut Markus Molitor Riesling Alte Reben is a tantalising German wine originating from the Mosel region. Renowned for its exquisite balance, it presents delicate citrus and floral notes, underpinned with charming suggestions of peach and honey. Complementing the aromatic profile, there is an enthralling minerality. Elegantly dressed in a palette of intense gold, it bewitches the palate with its vibrant acidity and refinement. This Riesling truly embodies the old vine (Alte Reben) homage in its label, expertly crafted by the Molitor family, and stands as a manifestation of their deep-rooted winemaking tradition.

Tasting Notes

A golden, flinty wine made from 60-year-old vines (Alte Reben means 'old vine'). White pepper, apple, nectarine and clove on the nose are followed by a complex, fruity and mineral palate.
