In 2016, grapes of Auslese‑level ripeness were rigorously selected to create a three‑star cuvée with exceptional concentration, then vinified in a feinherb style that balances intensity with lift and transparency.\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 fermented with wild yeasts mainly in a large 2,000‑litre Stockinger oak vat with a smaller portion in barriques, combining structure and subtle oak complexity with clear expression of fruit and slate. The wine rests on fine lees to integrate acidity, sweetness and phenolics, resulting in a texture that is lush yet fine, with great length and a seamless, off‑dry balance.\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 nectarine, mandarin orange, ripe peach and apricot, with hints of citrus blossom, herbs and smoky slate.\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\"\u003eRound, lush palate showing concentrated stone‑fruit and mandarin flavours, very fine tannins, ripe but racy acidity and a precise, elegant structure.\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\"\u003eDelicate, graceful finish that is long and balanced, echoing nectarines, citrus and minerality without heaviness.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" 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 this specific wine and vintage, Markus Molitor Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese*** Off Dry 2016 received 99 points from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, which described it as round, lush and very elegant, with super‑lush fruit, very fine tannins, ripe acidity and a highly refined, balanced finish. A detailed Mosel‑focused review further notes its concentrated yet dry‑leaning feinherb profile, featuring ripe apples, peach, flowers and slate, and praises its impressive depth and balance.\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 8–10°C in small to medium white‑wine glasses, and consider 30 minutes of air to let the mandarin, nectarine and floral notes unfold. This Auslese*** Off Dry pairs particularly well with rich poultry or pork dishes with fruit accents, mildly spicy Asian cuisine, foie gras, and soft or blue cheeses, and it can be cellared 15–20 years or more to gain layers of dried apricot, caramel, nuts and petrol while retaining its vibrant 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: about 11.5–12% ABV.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResidual Sugar: feinherb\/off‑dry Auslese*** level, with notable sweetness finely balanced by high acidity.\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":47793227104427,"sku":"MMO024-16","price":1080.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3023\/7867\/files\/markus_molitor_zeltinger_sonnenuhr_riesling_auslese_dry_2.jpg?v=1789202494","url":"https:\/\/www.regiswine.com.hk\/products\/markus-molitor-zeltinger-sonnenuhr-riesling-auslese-off-dry-2016","provider":"Regis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
