The 2018 Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese by Markus Molitor shines in the glass with a clear golden hue. On the nose, it reveals an expressive bouquet of ripe stone fruits like peach and apricot, accented by delicate mineral notes and a hint of honey. The palate is full-bodied and refined, offering a harmonious balance between sweetness and acidity.

The wine’s pronounced minerality and long, lingering finish highlight its depth and precision. Made exclusively from Riesling grapes, this wine showcases the varietal’s trademark aromas of citrus and stone fruit, its vibrant acidity, and exceptional ability to express terroir. The Erdener Treppchen vineyard on the Mosel is a steep, southwest-facing site with red slate soils. Wines from this site are known for their mineral backbone, silky texture, and striking finesse.
