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.

The Winery

Weingut Markus Molitor

Winery of the month October 2026

October takes us to the Mosel. Hardly any other winery translates steep slate slopes into the glass as precisely as Markus Molitor: minerality, freshness, and depth that do not get in each other's way. From zesty lightness to ripe, almost creamy density — Riesling in its full spectrum, for when the leaves fall outside.

Weingut Markus Molitor stands for Mosel Riesling from steep slate slopes: mineral, fresh, and with depth. The wines come from well-known single vineyards between Brauneberg, Bernkastel, Wehlen, Zeltingen, Erden, and Ürzig, in addition to vineyards on the Saar.

At Vinoscout, you will find the entire range of the winery. The entry point is the Haus Klosterberg line: Riesling dry, off-dry, and fruity-sweet, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, a Rosé, and a Cuvée Brut. Above that are Kabinett and Spätlese wines from the great vineyards of the Mosel and the Saar, such as Erdener Treppchen, Ürziger Würzgarten, Graacher Himmelreich, or Saarburger Rausch. In addition, there are Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc from vineyards like the Brauneberger Klostergarten and the Wehlener Klosterberg.

For the Rieslings, the color of the capsule helps you: white stands for dry, green for off-dry, gold for fruity-sweet. This way, you can quickly find the right wine, whether for the evening or for a festive table.
