Sweet with balanced acidity, fruit and minerality.
Our vineyard in the Kröver Kirchlay with southern orientation has beautiful clay- and slate-rich soils. It is located about 140m above sea level and – although it was only created in 2008 – produces great noble sweet wines. They inspire with an exciting, enlively vivacity and liveliness. The well-weathered slate soils give the wines depth, fruitiness and something exhilarated lightness. Kirchlay wines are therefore very characterised and exciting.

Golden yellow. Rich bouquet of baked apple, vanilla custard and clove, with a complicating note of spicy botrytis. Creamy but refined tropical fruits are complemented by refreshing salts and toasted pine nuts. At once succulent and full, finishing with reverberating length but not quite the same degree of elegance as the finest auslese.
As 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.
