Weingut Markus Molitor

Weingut Markus Molitor in Bernkastel-Wehlen produces powerful Rieslings and Pinot Noirs with colored capsules indicating sweetness—a system adopted by only 2% of German wineries. The estate's 2019 Riesling Kabinett achieved 92 points and sells for €22, 25% cheaper than #5 Weingut Keller's entry-level bottling.
