Markus Molitor Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese is a single-variety white wine made from Riesling grapes by the winery Markus Molitor.
The Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese is made from grapes harvested in October in the magnificent Ürzig vineyard, located in the Bernkastel subzone. For the Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Spätlese, the grapes are exclusively handpicked at the optimal ripeness, avoiding the use of machines that may be less selective. Once harvested, the grapes are quickly transported to the winery, where they are carefully selected and crushed.
Fermentation takes place in large wooden barrels at a controlled temperature. After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels for several months.
