Winemaker: Clemens Busch
Farming: Biodynamic
Terroir / Soil: 60 year old vines planted in grey slate. The grapes for this wine come from the plains in village of Pünderich.
Vinification: Fermented and aged in large stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation only occurs in years with high ripeness and PH. Maximum free sulphur at bottling of 30 mg/ltr.
Tasting Notes: Zippy and incredibly clean, this high-acid Riesling is bone dry, with aromas of green apple, white nectarine, wet slate and a deleriously rich finish.
Scores: 99 points Stephen Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Marienburg Felsterrasse offers perfectly ripe and concentrated yet refined, finely slatey and perfectly ripe fruit aromas with delicate lemon juice and herbal aromas. A stunning beauty! Silky, crystalline, lush and intense yet highly finessed and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich and very intense yet playful, saline and finessed Riesling with power and concentration and a very long, hedonistic yet always elegant and balanced finish. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022. Drink: 2025-2060. (Aug 2022)"
97 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "So much red-fleshed vineyard-peach character makes this very attractive, but there are also honeysuckle, fennel and cumin notes. Very succulent, but no less serious on the generous yet precisely delineated palate. Long, graceful finish with a degree of gentleness that makes this Mosel masterpiece very easy to enjoy. From 95-year-old vines. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold. (10/5/21)"
