The 2018 Markus Molitor Riesling Urziger Wurzgarten Auslese *** Gold Capsule is a stunning example of Mosel terroir, scoring an impressive 99 points. This wine captivates with its vibrant notes of ripe apricot, honeyed citrus, and delicate floral undertones, all beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity. The lush, almost decadent mouthfeel gives way to a long, complex finish that showcases the unique slate minerality of the vineyard. Perfect for a celebratory dinner or an intimate gathering, it pairs wonderfully with spicy Asian cuisine or a rich cheese platter. Given its remarkable quality, this wine is not only a treat but also a smart buy for the discerning palate.
