Riesling Marienburg GG Fahrlay-Terrassen 2016

Grape variety: Riesling

The majority of their vines are found in the vineyard of Pündericher Marienburg. The vineyard lies on the opposite bank of the river from the village of Pünderich and has a south-southeast orientation.

In the site’s original location, directly below the Marienburg monastery, gray slate dominates. This is where they harvest the grapes for their Großes Gewächs “Marienburg GG.”

Fahrlay is an extremely stony and terraced south-facing slope is comprised of very hard blue slate. The Rieslings that emerge from this site consistently fascinate as a result of their almost salty minerality.
