The Zeltinger Schlossberg is the slope adjacent to the Zeltinger sundial. So top of the top.
It is the steepest section of this slope from which the wine is obtained, over 80 years old root-true vines in single stake education with the most extreme orientation. Unlike the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, the Schlossberg is more clearly at home in the slate. The nose is clearly dominated by flint, wet slate. Stone, minerality and salt in the foreground. The whole thing is underpinned by a flower meadow, mirabelle, light reneklode, also a bit of quince, a touch of orange peel and lime underneath. More to the mineral than to the citrus fruit. Molitor loves the elegance, loves the minerality far more than the extreme fruit drive. Flint and wet granite to it, slate in the most massive form, with fine quince and stone fruit rolling up again.

Ripe apple and pear are accompanied on the nose by a greenhouse-like evocation of flowers and foliage that’s highly characteristic of Molitor 2018s. The midpalate is buoyant, caressingly creamy and lusciously fruity. Seed piquancy lends a welcome, stimulating modicum of counterpoint on a generously juicy, stone-kissing finish.
The 2021 Pinots Furstentum Grand Cru is made from about 60% Pinot Gris; the rest is from an adjoining block that is a field blend of Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois; all are co-fermented and aged in small barrels with 20% new oak. The vines are around 40 years old. The nose is vivid with green and yellow pear alongside fresh, ripe lemon - all embraced by a subtle creaminess of oak. The fine texture reminds of citrus pith; while the body is generous and concentrated, there is freshness. (Bone-dry)
