Riesling Marienburg 1. Lage Raffes 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.”

Raffes is the name given to Falkenlay on the official Land Register. They use the name to designate a small selection of vines from a terrace on higher ground. They produce a wine of exceptional concentration and density.
