The Sophie is a cuvée of 92% Chardonnay with 4% each of Viognier and Sauvignon blanc. Half of the grapes come from the Lieben Aich vineyard in Terlan and half from the Mazzon vineyard in Kaltern. Lieben Aich is a warm, west-facing slope at 300 metres above sea level. Chardonnay and Sauvignon are grown there on loamy sandy soil interspersed with weathered porphyry rock. Chardonnay and Viognier on Mazzon form the steepest vineyard in Manincor with a gradient of up to 100 %. Exposed to the south-west at 350-400 metres with calcareous, clayey soil. The grapes were harvested by hand at the beginning of September and left in the press for four hours until maceration to extract flavour and structure. Fermentation took place spontaneously with the grapes’ own yeasts in wooden containers of different sizes. The Sophie was matured for nine months on the fine lees.

Sophie is vibrant and concentrated, with notes of apple, apricot, lime, and marzipan set against a backdrop of racy acidity and wet stone minerality. Fermented in oak barrels & aged on fine lees for 9 months, this is a wine capable of aging, yet certainly drinkable now.

€ 55,00 INC. VATAs usual, Molitor’s exclusively small-barrel-raised “three-star” Pinot Blanc introduces some overt notes of oak on the nose and slight stiffening and drying to this variety’s usual engaging combination of textural creaminess with refreshment. But it still harbors plenty of interest. Musky suggestions of narcissus mingle with scents of corn shoots, lime peel and bruised apple skin. Fuller than its two ostensibly lesser counterparts but by no means heavy, this offers a cooling midpalate suggestion of mint-laced apple and lime sorbet, leading to a lingering if slightly woody finish enhanced by saliva-inducing salinity.

€ 73,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2021 Pinots Furstentum Grand Cru is made from about 60% Pinot Gris; the rest is from an adjoining block that is a field blend of Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois; all are co-fermented and aged in small barrels with 20% new oak. The vines are around 40 years old. The nose is vivid with green and yellow pear alongside fresh, ripe lemon - all embraced by a subtle creaminess of oak. The fine texture reminds of citrus pith; while the body is generous and concentrated, there is freshness. (Bone-dry)
