Molenberg - Collection Héritage

White wine

The Molenberg 2022 is made from Pinot Gris and Chardonnay from the oldest vines and contains 12,5% alcohol. The grapes come from the oldest vineyards on Mount Vidaigne. The Molenberg is the old name for Mount Vidaigne and is a hill leaning against Black Mountain. The wine is raised for 9 months in oak barrels. This ensures a gastronomic, fine oak tone. The Molenberg Prestige was only made in limited quantities, and can still mature for a few years in the cellar.

The Moleneberg is ready to drink immediately and is best consumed within 4 years.
