In 1984, at the age of 20, Markus Molitor assumed responsibility for the parental wine estate. Despite his youth, Molitor’s vision was clearly defined and ambitious – to assist restore the wines of the Moselle valley to their former glory, with unmistakable Riesling wines true to their individual vineyard identity (terroir) and of extreme longevity. Precise quality of work both in vineyard and cellar – without any compromises – together with absolute respect for the natural products grape and wine are his guidelines. Each vineyard, each vintage should express itself in taste. Molitor wants his wines to have structure and depth of taste as well as to inspire with the freshness and brilliance typical of the Moselle.
