Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, sweet
Auslese sits above Spätlese on Germany's ripeness ladder — selected late-picked bunches, usually with some botrytis in the mix, giving a genuinely sweet wine rather than an off-dry one. An important thing about this producer, and it is not printed in words: Markus Molitor signals sweetness by CAPSULE COLOUR. White means dry, green off-dry, gold sweet. Two bottles with identical front labels can be very different wines, so check the capsule before serving. From the Kinheimer Hubertuslay, a steep slate site in the middle Mosel. Ripe apricot and honeyed peach with citrus zest, white flowers and wet slate, plus the saffron-and-marmalade depth botrytis brings. Medium-bodied and lusciously sweet, held taut by piercing acidity. Serve cold in a small glass. Ages for decades, and an open bottle keeps a week in the fridge.
Serving: Serve at 6–8 °C.
