Markus Molitor annually deprives himself of unique pieces directly from his cellar. Perfectly preserved bottles that breathe fresh air after decades. Zeltinger Sonnhenhur is the neighboring parcel and sister of the best known Wehelener. It covers an area of about 40 hectares, located all around the mountain. In terms of quality potential, it is in no way inferior to Wehlener. The terroir is characterized by the finer, lighter, blue Devonia soil and the slate components.
Beerenauslese is the classification that indicates a harvest of selected grapes. The grapes must be harvested by hand choosing those attacked by noble or at least overripe mold. The finished wine is only sweet, as the at least 125 ° Oe cannot be completely converted into alcohol.

In 1984, at the tender age of 20, Markus Molitor took over his father's winery with a clear goal: to produce Mosel Riesling under the name "Molitor" in the tradition of eight generations and in the same quality that made the region famous around the world 100 years ago. . The 100-year-old ungrafted vines that represent the basis of all its wines, rise on very steep slopes that reach up to 80%. The harvest is almost always late and fermentations are always spontaneous. The ownership of the vineyards that today counts the estate extends for about 40 hectares and includes famous climat in the central Moselle such as: Zeltingen Sonnenhur (where there is a sundial, as in the vineyards of Wehlen or Brauneberg, but which dates back to 1611), Zeltinger Schlossberg, Zeltinger Himmelreich, Ürziger Würzgarten, Erdener Treppchen, Wehlener Sonnenhur, Graacher Himmelreich, Graacher Domprobst are just some of the grand crus in which it has vineyards. Markus Molitor today produces 150 different Rieslings, including 60 Auslese, 13 Eiswein and 15 TBA.
