Winemaker Notes
Markus Molitor does not only grow vines in the Middle Mosel Area, but also in
the Sarre River Region and the Ockfener Bockstein vineyard is located here. Shaped like an amphitheater, the extremely stony grey slate soil of the vineyard in combination with quartzite and sandstone produces spicy and fruity Rieslings with the typical cool mineral character of the Saar valley.
Professional Ratings
93Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Riesling Ockfener Bockstein Riesling Spätlese (White Capsule) is clear, fresh and precise on the nose where a ripe, concentrated and spicy white fruit aroma is displayed and intermixed with crystalline and crunchy slate flavors. On the palate, the Bockstein reveals lush, concentrated, very elegant and mineral structured fruit that is terribly precise and piquant. The finish is pure, clean, intense and persistently salty, again showing crunchy slate flavors.
91Wine Spectator
This shows lots of saffron up front, followed by other herbal and floral elements and a firm spine of acidity and mineral. Pretty dry, with prominent acidity and subtle hints of white raspberry and cardamom. Crunchy finish.
