Markus Molitor’s Cuvée Prestige Vieilles Vignes 2022 from the Mosel is a fine reflection of the region’s commitment to quality and tradition. Crafted predominantly from old vines, this white wine showcases the exuberant character typical of the Mosel, marrying purity and complexity. The grapes are harvested from some of the oldest parcels the estate manages, resulting in lower yields but greater concentration and finesse. While details on the exact blend are not specified, it is likely that Riesling forms the core, given the estate’s renown with the variety. The vinification emphasises a careful, gentle extraction, with fermentations traditionally carried out in stainless steel or large oak fuders, ensuring a crystalline expression of fruit and terroir. The 2022 vintage proved relatively cool, with intermittent flashes of warmth, endowing the wine with ripe primary fruits, vibrant acidity, and impressive balance.
The Mosel is one of Germany’s most storied wine regions, renowned particularly for its precipitous slate slopes along the sinuous bends of the Mosel River. The soils here are predominantly blue and grey slate, lending a pronounced minerality to the wines. The climate is cool continental, but the riverside exposure and the reflected warmth allow grapes to ripen slowly, preserving nuance and vivacity. The Mosel’s viticultural history stretches back to Roman times, and its wines have been celebrated ever since for their elegance and longevity.
This structured yet fresh Mosel white pairs beautifully with delicate dishes combining acidity and subtlety. Think pan-fried trout with almond butter, or a classic tart flambée with onions and bacon. The wine’s minerality and bright acidity also complement local dishes such as Riesling-sauerkraut and fresh goat’s cheese. For a more international pairing, consider lightly spiced Asian cuisine—think sashimi, Vietnamese salads, or Thai green curry, as the wine’s precision will temper the heat and play with the freshness.
To best appreciate this wine’s crispness, serve it chilled at 8-10°C. Decanting is generally not necessary, but giving the bottle a few minutes after opening allows the subtleties of old vines and Mosel terroir to fully shine. Enjoy over the next five years to savour its youthful vibrancy and evolving minerality.
