Description
“The 2020er Marienburg Fahrlay GG, as it is referred to on the main part of the label, was fermented spontaneously in traditional oak casks from fruit harvested in a blue slate part of the Marienburg vineyard. It offers a superb nose made of lemon zest, white flowers, raspberry, fine spices, and herbs. The wine is beautifully precise and playful on the nicely dry palate and leaves a superb feel of fresh fruits and subtly tart minerals in the finish. The aftertaste is all about multi-layered and finely chiseled flavors. What a huge success. We would not be surprised if it eventually exceeds our high expectations at maturity, as it develops its full balance. 2028-2040” 94+ Mosel Fine Wines
“The 2020 Marienburg GG Fahrlay is another fascinating, intense, clear and precise, bright, shining and utterly Mosel-styled Riesling from the blue slate terroir of the Fahrlay parcel that hosts vines that are older than 75 years. The wine reveals remarkable finesse and elegance on the palate and develops a long, refined and salty finish that is less challenging, dramatic and tannic than that of the Rothenpfad and the Marienburg, but it’s fabulous in its finesse and elegance. Weightless but long and salty. Tasted in Wiesbaden in August 2021.” 95 Stephan Reinhardt
