An attractive and fruit-driven nose with notes of pear, peach, and a hint of smoke. Light-bodied on the palate but it continues to develop in the glass with a delicate and elegant finish.

The grapes for this wine come from a variety of Molitor's vineyards along the Mosel river. The slate soil imparts minerality and focus to the finished wine.

The grapes were softly crushed and macerated for several hours on the skins. After maceration the juice was fermented in stainless steel and large barrels using only natural yeasts. The wine rests on the lees following fermentation producing a balanced and aromatic wine.

The 2021 Riesling Haus Klosterberg (White Capsule) is clear, pure and fresh on the lemon-scented nose that is crisp, fresh and wonderfully greenish. On the palate, this is a fruity, round and savory, highly energetic and stimulating Riesling with young, fresh and crisp phenolics. It's not very long or complex but a straightforward dry Riesling. 11.5% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted from AP 35 22 in May 2023. Anticipated Maturity: 2023-2032
