Markus Molitor – Haus Klosterberg Pinot Noir – 2017
$26.00
100% Pinot Noir
Medium garnet red. Fine bouquet of ripe dark berries, with expressive notes of slate and juicy fruit aromas. Elegant on the palate with a strong body. Berry notes, persistent, long. Slate embossed finish.
Careful work in the vineyard and strict selection during the harvest resulted in perfectly healthy and fully ripe grapes. A spontaneous fermentation on the mash, which lasted 3 ½ weeks, as well as a subsequent careful aging in oak barrels characterize this multi-faceted Pinot Noir.

Markus Molitor
Markus Molitor took over his eponymous family winery in 1984, the eighth generation to continue their tradition. With the beautiful town of Bernkastel in the backdrop, they have fifteen steep sites along the Mosel River devoted mostly to Riesling, which is very much their raison d’etre. At Weingut Molitor, Markus practices traditional winemaking: they rely on ambient yeasts for fermentation, and mature the wines in large old oak casks. These are wines of the very highest order.
