The pure expression of Pinot Noir from the Mosel by the Markus Molitor estate

The estate
Taken over and restructured in 1984 by Markus Molitor, who remains its current owner and director, the eponymous estate has established itself as a leading reference in the Mosel. Representing the eighth generation of a winemaking family, he cultivates around 38 hectares of vines across prestigious terroirs. The estate's philosophy is built on meticulous manual work and low yields to express the authenticity of each plot. Today, the Markus Molitor name is recognized internationally for its exacting quality standards and its ability to bring out the very best in the region's grape varieties.

The vineyard
The grapes come from vineyards typical of the Mosel valley. These iconic German terroirs are distinguished by their steep slopes and slate-rich soils, providing an ideal environment for the vines to reach their full potential.

Winemaking and aging
The production of the Pinot Noir Haus Klosterberg 2023 begins with a rigorous selection of grapes harvested at full ripeness. The must undergoes spontaneous fermentation, followed by a total maceration period of three and a half weeks. Finally, the wine is aged in oak barrels to refine its structure and complexity.
