PinotNoirTrarbacherSchlossberg***–2017–WeingutMarkusMolitor

Pinot Noir Trarbacher Schlossberg*** 2017 is a red wine produced by Markus Molitor in Mosel in Germany. A rare and sought-after Pinot Noir cuvée.

100% Pinot Noir, from 20-year-old vines planted at the Trarbacher Schlossberg vineyard, an exceptional terroir if ever there was one (rated three stars!). The plot has slate soils, with abundant stones, and is located on an extremely steep slope. The harvesting is done by hand, with rigorous sorting. Vinification: the grapes macerate for four weeks, followed by slow fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and maturation in French oak barrels for 18 months. Bottled on the estate without fining or filtration.
