O Terroir:
Even 100 years ago, Rieslings from the top vineyards of the Mosel and Saar were among the most expensive wines in the world - more expensive than Bordeaux or Burgundy. This is vividly documented by the wine lists of leading restaurants all over the world at that time. The illustration on this page shows an excerpt of the oldest official vineyard classification in the world. It is based on the results of an 1816 to 1832 evaluation of the vineyards on the Mosel, Saar and Ruwer and was published by the Prussian tax authorities in 1868. Instead of the original eight classes, the single-vineyard classification contains only three classes, graded in varying shades of dark red, for simplicity. "Molitor wines" are exclusively cultivated in the sites classified as particularly valuable in the two darkest red tones.
De cor ligeira amarelo palha com ligeiros tons esverdeados, no nariz é impressionante, entrega total na mineralidade, pólvora, rochedo, com tropicalidade do ananás, género refresco mineral, na boca bom volume e estrutura, fruta muito pura com óptima acidez e final longo.
É um belíssimo vinho, mexe com os sentidos.
