Ockfener Bockstein Riesling Kabinett

A classic Mosel Riesling with the typical interplay between fine residual sweetness and lively acidity — light, playful, yet with real depth.

Markus Molitor is one of the most famous names on the Saar and Mosel. The winery in Bernkastel-Wehlen cultivates steep slopes on weathered Devonian slate, which gives the wines their characteristic minerality. The Ockfener Bockstein is one of the most renowned single vineyards of the Saar — a south-facing slope with deep blue slate that forces the vines to grow deep and produces wines with a clear sense of origin.

In the glass, the Kabinett shows aromas of white peach, apricot, and a hint of citrus zest. The acidity is present but integrated — it gives the wine tension without being sharp. The residual sweetness feels light and fresh, not heavy. The finish is long, mineral-driven, and marked by a fine slate note.

Served at 8–10 °C, it pairs well with Asian cuisine featuring chili and ginger, cured salmon, or a light goat cheese. It also makes a great aperitif on a warm evening.
