2018 Markus Molitor Zeltinger Himmelreich Riesling Auslese*** Sweet

來自塞爾廷閣仙境成熟採收的甜酒，入口先是濃郁的蜜桃與檸檬皮香，接著流動出蜂蜜、杏桃與淡淡草本的層次。口感豐潤但不厚重，清脆的酸度像刀鋒般拉出結構，礦質感來自陡峭的板岩坡地，使餘味既悠長又清爽。酒莊以嚴格篩選晚收果實、溫和壓榨與低溫發酵保留果香與活力，田地位於向陽的陡坡，低產量與精細的園藝管理是風味集中與長壽命的關鍵。

This 2018 Auslese from Markus Molitor’s Zeltinger Himmelreich shows concentrated yet finely balanced sweetness. Aromas of ripe white peach, Amalfi lemon zest and a thread of garden herbs lead to a honeyed, nectarine core framed by cool slate minerality. Despite its richness the wine stays lively thanks to crisp acidity and a satin texture, finishing long and succulent rather than cloying. Winemaking emphasizes meticulous selection for late-harvest ripeness, gentle pressing and cool fermentation to preserve primary aromatics and freshness. The vineyard sits on steep, south-facing slate slopes in Zeltingen-Rachtig, where low yields and careful canopy work yield intensely flavored fruit and exceptional ageing potential.
