The 2022 Markus Molitor Riesling Wehlener Klosterberg Kabinett (White Capsule) is a Mosel Riesling from one of Germany's most respected producers. Markus Molitor has earned an international reputation for crafting precise, terroir-driven wines that capture the diversity of the Mosel's vineyard sites, with meticulous attention paid to harvest timing, fruit selection and vinification.

The Wehlener Klosterberg vineyard is located near the famous village of Wehlen in the Middle Mosel. Characterised by steep slopes and slate-rich soils, the site produces Rieslings known for their aromatic purity, elegance and pronounced mineral character. The vineyard's exposure and proximity to the Mosel River help promote slow ripening, allowing the grapes to develop complexity while retaining vibrant acidity.

In the Molitor range, the White Capsule designation indicates a dry style, highlighting the clarity of fruit and mineral expression for which Mosel Riesling is renowned. The 2022 vintage offers aromas of lime, green apple and white peach, accompanied by notes of white flowers, citrus blossom and wet slate. On the palate, the wine is light- to medium-bodied, combining crisp acidity with a precise core of citrus and orchard fruit. A distinctive mineral tension carries through to the long, refreshing finish.
