Riesling Marienburg Fahrlay RESERVE

2018
Germany
Mosel

Aged for two years on the lees and bottled unfiltered, the Pündericher Marienburg Riesling Fahrlay Reserve from old ungrafted vines is the quintessential expression of Mosel blue slate.  Long and crunchy, fresh and pure, with intense energy. Amazing wine -- perhaps the best of the 2018ers.

"Hard to believe that this was bottled after 28 months maturation on the full lees, because it is so vivid, with a ton of dried herbs, plus caramelized peach and pear. Enormously deep and structured, but with a certain lightness of touch at the enormously long and enormously slatey finish. This gives you a very good idea how the great dry Mosel wines from before the First World War tasted. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold."
