Saarburger Rausch Riesling Spätlese

The Saarburger Rausch is one of the great steep sites of the Saar — a slate amphitheater that drives Riesling to concentrated fruit and lively acidity. Markus Molitor is one of the most well-known winemakers on the Mosel and Saar: The winery cultivates over 100 hectares of single vineyards, including many steep-slope parcels on blue and red slate.

On the nose, this Spätlese shows ripe yellow peach and apricot fruit, underscored by a hint of citrus zest and the cool minerality that characterizes the slate soil of the Rausch site. On the palate, the natural residual sweetness does not feel heavy — a precise, lively acidity keeps everything in balance and ensures a long, fresh finish with a light spice.

Best served at 8–10 °C. Classic with blue cheese, foie gras, or tangy goat cheese. Equally convincing with Asian dishes featuring chili and ginger, where the residual sweetness cushions the heat — or simply as a standalone wine after a meal.

Weingut Markus Molitor

Weingut Markus Molitor stands for Mosel Riesling that clearly expresses the unique characteristics of this German wine region. Hardly any other winery understands how to translate the steep slate slopes of the Mosel into wines that combine minerality, freshness, and depth in their own unique way.

At Vinoscout, you will find a fine selection of four white wines that show what the Mosel has to offer in terms of Riesling – from fresh lightness to mature depth. Each bottle tells its own story: some impress with zesty acidity and a lean structure, others with dense aromatics and an almost creamy texture, which is typical for the best sites along the river.

The bottles are priced between 17.30 and 25.60 EUR, making the range interesting for both uncomplicated enjoyment and special occasions. Whether as a spontaneous companion for the evening or as a highlight on a festive table – at Markus Molitor, you will find Rieslings that bring the Mosel to life in every glass.
