From Weingut Markus Molitor in Germany’s Mosel Valley, the Riesling Qualitätswein Haus Klosterberg Dry 2023 is a refined 100% Riesling sourced from the historic Haus Klosterberg vineyard near Wehlen, featuring steep slate slopes and traditional basket press methods that emphasize purity and minerality.
Grapes are softly crushed and macerated for several hours on the skins before gentle basket pressing, spontaneously fermented with wild yeasts (part in stainless steel, part in wood), and matured on fine lees to achieve a pure yet intense dry expression that balances ripe fruit with crystalline minerality.
Tasting Notes A precise, energetic dry Mosel Riesling with intense yellow fruit, crushed rock minerality, and saline freshness, delivering a full-bodied yet elegant palate of ripe tropical notes balanced by crystalline, salty acidity and profound depth from steep slate slopes. The nose combines ripe fruit aromas with crystalline mineral substance. On the palate, it is pure yet intense and sustainable, with a savoury, saline, tensioned yet balanced character.
Awards and Accolades Specific scores from well-known critics (James Suckling, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, Vinous, Falstaff, Decanter) for the 2023 vintage are not yet publicly available. Earlier vintages of the Haus Klosterberg Riesling dry series have consistently scored 90–93 points from critics such as James Suckling and Stephen Reinhardt (Wine Advocate).
Serving and Cellaring Serve chilled at 8-10°C to highlight aromas. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, salads, or goat cheese. Enjoy now through 2035, during which it will develop subtle petrol and honeyed nuances.
