Markus Molitor 2008 Haus Klosterberg Spätlese Riesling (Mosel)
- Online Exclusive
- $23
Enticingly complex nose, multifaceted, with a medley of blossoms, honey, spice, white peaches and ample minerality showing through. Sweet, with delicious racy acidity and a lively taut texture. This is very focused, with generous flavors of elderberries, stone fruit, orange citrus, spice and slate. Long, persistent finish.

Markus Molitor 2008 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese Riesling (Mosel)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Truly stunning, this white starts out with subtle talcum powder and gravel notes, then adds intense perfume and peaches in the mouth. There’s a finely tuned balance and good length. Exceptional harmony and intensity suggest it will improve for 15 years or more.

Markus Molitor 2005 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
Light and vivacious, this has loads of tropical fruit aromas and flavors, but also vivid slate notes. The acidity is ripe and rounded rather than crisp, but the wine still comes across as refreshingly balanced. Drink now–2025. Imported by Schmitt-Sohne Inc.

Markus Molitor 2001 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- $16
Another mineral-laden wine from Markus Molitor, with a rich, oily texture balanced by a firm spine of acidity. Green apples, peaches and citrus combine with stones and vegetable oil on the palate. Finishes long and crisp, like a good 2001 should. Good now, better in five years.

Markus Molitor 2002 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- $20
Intensely minerally, this wine features an avalanche of stony flavors supported by baked apple notes for softness, and fresh-squeezed limes for backbone. Hints of diesel and oil shale dominate the nose. It’s richly textured—almost chewy—yet crisp on the finish. Drink now–2010.

Markus Molitor 2005 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- $26
Broad, mouthfilling and weighty, this is an atypically rich spätlese, but one that delivers a dizzying array of aromas and flavors. Diesel and mineral oil notes provide gravitas, while lime zest adds spark. Ripe melon, baked apple and powdered cinnamon round out the chassis of this low-rider. Imported by Schmitt-Sohne Inc.

Markus Molitor 2005 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Kabinett Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Editors' Choice
- $17
Light in body and very easy to drink, with pristine flavors of flower greens, green apples and lime and a clean, fresh finish. The only clue that this is from an exceptionally ripe vintage is the hint of tropical fruit—verging on banana and melon—that may be found amidst the flavors. Imported by Schmitt-Sohne Inc.

Markus Molitor 2008 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese Riesling (Mosel)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
A mixture of mineral and spice accompanies the lemon and apricot fruit in this tangy, focused Riesling. There’s plenty of intensity and an energizing balance of fresh acidity and lingering sweetness. Drink now or age four to five years.
