Markus Molitor Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spätlese Off Dry 2022 is a finely balanced Mosel Riesling from steep slate slopes above Bernkastel, showing ripe stone fruit, citrus and floral notes over a clear mineral backbone. Medium‑bodied with a gently off‑dry profile, it combines juicy pineapple, apricot and apple flavours with refreshing acidity and a long, elegant finish. Serve at 8–10°C; enjoy now for its expressive fruit or over the next 15–20 years as it gains more honeyed and waxy complexity.

This Spätlese Off Dry (green‑capsule) bottling is sourced from the Bernkasteler Badstube vineyard in the middle Mosel, a classic steep site of weathered slate that produces fragrant, finely structured Rieslings. Late‑harvested Spätlese grapes bring extra ripeness and depth, while the feinherb/off‑dry balance aims for intensity and length without the full richness of dessert styles.​

Grapes are hand‑harvested, gently pressed and fermented with natural or carefully selected yeasts, with fermentation stopped before all sugars are consumed to retain a moderate level of residual sweetness. Ageing in stainless steel on fine lees preserves freshness and enhances texture, yielding a wine that is both vivid and polished, with sweetness and acidity in harmonious tension.​

Tasting Notes

  • Very clear, aromatic nose of stone fruit (apricot, peach), ripe pineapple and apple, interwoven with savoury crushed‑stone and salty notes.​

  • On the palate, rich yet precise, with tinned apricot and pineapple, honeyed hints and a veil of confectionary sweetness balanced by lively acidity.​

  • The finish is clean, long and seamless, carrying tinned‑fruit, honey and mineral tones with a touch of balsamic and herbal lift.​

Awards and Accolades
Markus Molitor Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spätlese Off Dry 2022 received 94 points from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, which praised its very clear, precise, stone‑fruit‑driven nose and savoury crushed‑stone and saline nuances. The review highlights a beautifully aromatic, finely balanced palate with excellent clarity and structure, confirming it as one of the standout off‑dry Spätlesen of the vintage from this site.​

Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 8–10°C in small to medium white‑wine glasses, allowing a few minutes in the glass for the orchard‑ and tropical‑fruit notes to open up. This Spätlese Off Dry pairs especially well with Asian cuisine, mildly spicy dishes, pork or duck with fruit accents, rich poultry, and soft or semi‑soft cheeses; it can be enjoyed now or cellared for 15–20 years to develop beeswax, dried‑fruit and petrol nuances while retaining freshness.​
