Markus Molitor Bernkasteler Lay Auslese is an exceptional Riesling white wine, offering distinctive characteristics thanks to its origin in the small yet valuable vineyard of Bernkasteler Lay, near the renowned Bernkasteler Doctor. This vineyard features century-old vines in finely fragmented slate soils, ideal for developing grapes that reach optimal ripeness and extraordinary aroma. During the winemaking process, the selected grapes are carefully pressed, and the must is left to macerate with the skins to intensify the aromas. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts in a combination of stainless steel tanks and wooden barrels. The wine matures on the lees for several months, giving it greater complexity and a creamy texture. In tasting, it presents a straw-yellow color and intense aromas of lime, grapefruit, and cassis, along with spicy nuances and floral touches. The taste is fresh and mineral, with a long finish that leaves a lasting impression.
