Riesling Marienburg Grosse Lage “Raffes” 2020

Colour reflections
Caught in a magnificent golden yellow, this 2020 Marienburg Erste Lage "Raffes" Riesling sparkles impressively.
Fragrance profile
As soon as you catch the effervescent scent of boscope apples, vineyard peaches and apricots, you sense a rendezvous with a flowery and herb-rich meadow. The bouquet is enriched by the loose scent of honey and subtle malty notes that lend an absorbing touch of allure. A convincingly expressive and profound flair of wine emanates from the fragrance notes alone.
Taste experience
A tasteful experience awaits you when you taste this Riesling. A symphony of juicy fruit meets a well-balanced sweetness supported by spicy tannins. The salty, mineral note gives the wine a beautifully challenging character and the longer finish hints at exquisite ageing potential. This Riesling is a masterpiece that once again demonstrates the remarkable talent of winemaker Clemens Busch.
Balanced food combinations
Try this wine as an accompaniment to a creamy pumpkin soup with Gorgonzola dumplings. Its power and depth also harmonise perfectly with grilled sardine fillets accompanied by a fresh corn and cucumber salsa. An unusual choice could be a tender veal steak with candied lemon slices, pomegranate seeds and toasted almonds, which complements the complexity and richness of the Riesling.
