This south-facing slope of weathered slate imparts pronounced minerality and freshness, giving the naturally sweet Auslese style remarkable precision and elegance.\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 in multiple passes, with meticulous selection of late-harvested and partially botrytised berries to achieve high must weight and concentration.

On the palate it is dense, silky and mouthfilling, yet the incisive acidity provides superb tension, giving an almost Eiswein-like precision to the lush sweetness. The finish is very long and saline, leaving lingering impressions of stone fruit, citrus zest and mineral spice.\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\u003eAwards and Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarkus Molitor’s 2017 Wehlener Klosterberg Riesling Auslese** (Golden Capsule) has been highly rated, with Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate scoring it 96 points for its ripe, concentrated citrus and stone-fruit bouquet, purity of slate character and precisely balanced, sweet-yet-racy palate.

This Auslese pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue or washed-rind cheeses, fruit tarts, citrus desserts and lightly spicy Asian cuisine, and it can be enjoyed now or cellared for 15–20 years for greater complexity and tertiary notes of dried fruits, caramel and roasted nuts.\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: about 7.5–8% ABV.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResidual Sugar: high Auslese-level sweetness (sweet style).\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":47793209311403,"sku":"MMO009-17","price":460.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3023\/7867\/files\/markus_molitor_wehlener_klosterberg_riesling_auslese_sweet.jpg?v=1789202464","url":"https:\/\/www.regiswine.com.hk\/products\/markus-molitor-wehlener-klosterberg-riesling-auslese-sweet-2017","provider":"Regis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
