Bob Molling didn't plan to become a winemaker. He spent six months studying economics, realised a desk wasn't his future, and eventually found his way to the vineyards of the Luxembourg Moselle via an apprenticeship, a harvest in South Africa, and a phone call from his grandmother.

Today he runs Molling Wines with his wife — 4.2 hectares, around 25,000 bottles a year, and a philosophy that can be summed up in three words: no beautification, just pure.

In this conversation with Cool Climate Wine Summit CEO Jan Eggers, Bob talks about what it really means to farm with low intervention (without being dogmatic about it), how the 2023 vintage pushed him to his limits, why economic sustainability and environmental sustainability are the same conversation, and what Luxembourg wine needs to do to find its place on the global stage.

Honest, grounded, and recorded mid-harvest above the Moselle valley with a bottle of unlabelled wine on the table.

Getting to Saxony took three attempts. The harvest kept intervening. When Jan Eggers finally arrived at VDP. Weingut Schloß Proschwitz, head winemaker Björn Probst was in the middle of picking — and still made time to talk.

Proschwitz is one of eastern Germany’s landmark estates: 75 hectares, just completed organic certification, and home to one of the world’s last significant plantings of Goldriesling — a variety that barely exists outside Saxony.

In this conversation, Björn talks about the tasting that shaped his winemaking — a bottle from Domaine Zind-Humbrecht that made him understand what wine could be.

He talks about five consecutive summers with almost no rain, the challenge of irrigating young vines while refusing to compromise on organic principles, and why he believes the wine world will eventually catch up with what eastern Germany has been doing quietly for decades.

Recorded in the vineyard above the Elbe River, mid-harvest, with a glass of Goldriesling on the table.
