The red and grey slate soils, extreme gradients and river influence create a warm yet ventilated microclimate that allows Riesling to reach high ripeness while retaining remarkable acidity, ideal for intensely sweet Auslese*** wines.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" aria-label=\"Markus Molitor Erdener Treppchen Goldene Kapsel ...\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe three-star designation indicates an extremely strict selection of the ripest, largely botrytised berries, picked by hand over multiple passes to achieve exceptional concentration and complexity. After gentle pressing, the must ferments slowly at cool temperatures, stopping with a high level of natural residual sugar while preserving intense fruit and freshness, followed by maturation that allows the components of sweetness, acidity and extract to knit together harmoniously.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" aria-label=\"2020 Markus Molitor Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese ...\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eHighly expressive nose of apricot jam, ripe peach, mango and pineapple, accented by candied citrus peel, honey, anise and a pronounced slatey note.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe palate is viscous and mouth‑coating, packed with lush tropical and stone‑fruit flavours, yet driven by bright, laser‑like acidity that keeps the sweetness in perfect check.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe finish is very long and layered, leaving impressions of dried apricot, citrus oil, sweet spice and cool, stony minerality.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" aria-label=\"Markus Molitor Erdener Treppchen Goldene Kapsel ...\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards and Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the 2023 Markus Molitor Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese*** Sweet, critics rank the wine among the top Erdener Treppchen bottlings, noting its extraordinary concentration and balance; one leading critic report places this vintage in the highest tier of Erden wines based on aggregated scores.
