2017 Markus Molitor Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Auslese** Sweet (375 ml)

品飲筆記：酒液金黃，香氣豐富，先是杏桃與橙皮果醬的甜美，接著蜂蜜與白花香跳出，檸檬皮般的清爽果酸把甜味拉得很乾淨。口感圓潤帶有明顯板岩礦感，酸度穿透感強，甜而不膩，尾韻帶點蜜渣與香料的悠長餘味。酒莊與葡萄園：馬庫斯·梅麗特在摩塞爾享有盛名，對田間管理非常嚴謹。這瓶來自塞爾廷的Schlossberg陡坡，向南受光良好，淺層藍色板岩土壤與低產量讓果實極具濃縮度。釀造方式：人工分選、溫柔壓榨、低溫發酵並在發酵早期控制以保留天然餘糖，短期澱粉酵母接觸增加口感厚度，瓶前細心澄清。建議冷飲（8–10°C），開瓶短暫透氣15分鐘可更快釋放香氣。配甜點、鵝肝或帶甘甜酸調的亞洲料理都很合拍。

Tasting note: Golden-hued and fragrantly complex, this Auslese opens with ripe apricot, orange marmalade and honeyed peach, lifted by lime zest and delicate jasmine. A core of cool slate minerality and incisive acidity keeps the sweetness bright and finely balanced, finishing long with persistent honeyed spice. Producer notes: From Weingut Markus Molitor, a benchmark Mosel estate celebrated for meticulous vineyard work and selective late-harvest picks. Vineyard notes: Fruit comes from the steep, south-facing Schlossberg slopes around Zeltingen—shallow, blue slate soils, high sun exposure and very low yields give concentrated, mineral-driven fruit. Winemaking notes: Hand-harvested selection of late, ripe bunches; gentle whole-bunch pressing and cool, controlled fermentation with early arrest to retain natural residual sugar. Light lees aging adds texture before careful bottling. Serve well chilled (8–10°C); a short 15-minute open pour helps the aromatics unfurl. A deliciously indulgent dessert wine that balances luscious sweetness with real tension and minerality.
