Bernkastel-Wehlen, Deutschland - In an important event of the German wine world, Markus Molitor, an outstanding winegrower from Bernkastel-Wehlen, was awarded the Walter-Scheel medal. He was awarded this honor on December 9, 2024 at his winery, and he is the first winemaker in Germany to receive this prestigious award. The jury praised Molitor for its outstanding contributions to viticulture on the Moselle and Saar, over the past four decades that have largely promoted its worldwide reputation, as the localo.de reported.
Outstanding services recognized
Markus Molitor, who took over the winery from his father in the 1980s, expanded it into one of the largest privately managed wineries of the growing area. The winemaker works on a variety of projects, including the recultivation of historically important wine locations, which contributes to the preservation and promotion of the culinary culture of Europe. His wines, which are estimated internationally, come from the well -known locations of Graacher Himmelreich, Zeltinger sundial and Ürzig Würzgarten, such as Wochenspiegellive.de supplemented.
The culinary design of the evening was particularly remarkable at the award, in which three top chefs of the Moselle-Christian Bau, Clemens Rambichler and Thomas Schanz-came together with three Michelin stars each-to underline the importance of this award. Molitor was proud of the honor: "It is an overwhelming honor (...) and the Walter-Scheel medal for me." This award not only combines the tradition of viticulture, but also promotes the European culinary values that Walter Scheel was so important during his lifetime.
