In the 2023 vintage, these sites produced a dry Riesling cuvée that stands out for its depth and aromatic complexity, unusually intense for a wine composed of multiple vineyard sources.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" 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\"\u003eGrapes are hand‑harvested, gently pressed and fermented fully dry to highlight terroir rather than residual sweetness, resulting in a wine that combines richness of ripe fruit with a precise, stony backbone.

Historical critic data for earlier vintages (2019–2022) show scores in the low‑ to mid‑90s, underlining the cuvée’s consistent reputation as a refined, mineral, ageworthy dry Mosel Riesling; these higher scores refer to previous vintages, not specifically to 2023.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" 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\u003eServing and Cellaring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at 10–12°C in medium‑sized white‑wine glasses to show both aromatic complexity and structural depth. This dry old‑vine Riesling pairs especially well with smoked or grilled fish, shellfish, squid‑ink risotto, roasted poultry, pork with herbs, and rich vegetable dishes, and it can be enjoyed now or cellared from 2026 through about 2040, during which it should gain further complexity while maintaining its mineral backbone.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" 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\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlcohol: 11.5–12% ABV.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" aria-label=\"2023 Markus Molitor Alte Reben Riesling Trocken - Wine-Searcher\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResidual Sugar: Dry (Trocken), with richness and weight coming from ripe old‑vine fruit and extract rather than sweetness.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClosure: Cork.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47793203839147,"sku":"MMO006-23","price":256.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3023\/7867\/files\/markus_molitor_riesling_qualitatswein_alte_reben_dry_1.jpg?v=1789202453","url":"https:\/\/www.regiswine.com.hk\/products\/markus-molitor-riesling-qualitatswein-alte-reben-dry-2023","provider":"Regis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
