The 2023 dry Spätlese is vinified in the estate’s “white‑capsule” style, aiming to combine late‑harvest intensity with a genuinely dry, gastronomic profile that expresses the vineyard with clarity.\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 at late‑harvest ripeness, sorted carefully, gently pressed and fermented to full dryness, typically in stainless steel and\/or large old oak to preserve precision and texture without overt oak character. Extended contact on fine lees helps to build structure and creaminess while keeping the wine taut and linear, resulting in a dry Mosel Riesling with both depth and finesse.\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\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\"\u003eAromas of lemon, lime and grapefruit, joined by crunchy green apple, white peach, herbs and a clear impression of crushed slate.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" aria-label=\"MARKUS MOLITOR URZIGER WURZGARTEN SPATLESE\" 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\"\u003eOn the palate, dry and complex, with concentrated citrus and stone‑fruit flavours, firm but ripe acidity and a chiselled, mineral spine.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" aria-label=\"MARKUS MOLITOR URZIGER WURZGARTEN SPATLESE\" 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\"\u003eLong, intense finish with juicy fruit, herbal lift and lingering slate and spice notes that underline the Ürziger Würzgarten origin.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" aria-label=\"MARKUS MOLITOR URZIGER WURZGARTEN SPATLESE\" 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\u003eDetailed single‑critic scores for the 2023 Spätlese Dry are not yet broadly published, but similar recent white‑capsule Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese vintages from Markus Molitor have earned low‑ to mid‑90s scores from major reviewers, praising their clarity, structure and impressive length.

This dry Spätlese pairs particularly well with scallops, lobster, grilled or baked white fish, pork with sauerkraut, roasted poultry, and richer vegetable dishes; it can be enjoyed now or cellared for 10–15 years, during which it will develop notes of honey, smoke and dried herbs while retaining 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: typically around 12–13% ABV for a dry Mosel Spätlese of this style.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResidual Sugar: dry (Spätlese “Sec” \/ White‑capsule style), with perceptible ripeness but no obvious sweetness.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClosure: Cork (standard for the white‑capsule Spätlese range).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47793217896619,"sku":"MMO017-23","price":284.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3023\/7867\/files\/markus_molitor_urziger_wurzgarten_riesling_spatlese_dry.jpg?v=1789202479","url":"https:\/\/www.regiswine.com.hk\/products\/markus-molitor-urziger-wurzgarten-riesling-spatlese-dry-2023","provider":"Regis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
