Vinification of Markus Molitor's Haus Klosterberg Riesling The basis for the elegant Haus Klosterberg Riesling from the Mosel are grapes of the Riesling variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions along the Mosel. The vines have deep roots in soils made of slate. What is extraordinary about the origin of this top wine by Markus Molitor is the fact that the grapes thrive on steep slate terraces in the Mosel. This traditional way of vineyard management is unfortunately very labor-intensive and therefore rarely encountered today. At the point of optimal ripeness, the grapes for the Haus Klosterberg Riesling are harvested exclusively by hand, without the help of coarse and less selective harvesters. After manual harvest, the grapes are quickly transferred to the winery. Here they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and large wooden casks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the Haus Klosterberg Riesling can harmonize further for several months on the fine lees. Food pairing recommendations for Markus Molitor's Haus Klosterberg Riesling This German wine is best enjoyed moderately chilled at 11 - 13°C. It is perfect as an accompaniment to wok vegetables with fish, baked trout with ginger-poached pear, or spaghetti with yogurt-mint pesto.
