For this 2017 Markus Molitor Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese, we recommend serving it chilled at 8-10°C. As an Auslese, it has excellent aging potential and can be enjoyed now for its youthful fruit and acidity, or cellared for 10-20+ years to develop complex tertiary aromas.

This is a sweet Riesling Auslese from the Mosel region, characterized by its vibrant acidity, intense fruit flavors (apricot, peach), and honeyed notes. Its sweetness and acidity make it an excellent match for spicy Asian cuisine like Thai curries or Szechuan dishes, as well as fruit tarts or lighter desserts.

This bottle has a very damaged label (score 0) and a mid shoulder fill level (score 0), which is common for older vintages and reflects its age. The capsule is in perfect condition (score 10). For home storage, keep the bottle horizontally in a cool, dark place with stable temperature (10-12°C is ideal for sweet whites) and humidity (60-75%) to preserve its quality.
