Wine information
The Pünderich site Marienburg Fahrlay is a vineyard with mainly blue shining slate. The clay content is high, and there is a small proportion of lime particles. The very gravelly and terraced site faces south. The nature of the rock ensures high tension and minerality. After harvesting and sorting, the vines receive a longer maceration period and are pressed very slowly with low pressure and fermented spontaneously. Clarification takes place by sedimentation. Apart from small amounts of sulphur, nothing else is added. Maturation takes place in traditional Moselan Fuder barrels with a capacity of 1,000 litres. The Großes Gewächse are usually filled in late summer.
Color
rich straw yellow
Nose
Flowery and shy shows itself the Fahrlay in the nose. Almond and orange blossom are accompanied by green notes, of apple, lime, mint and verbena. With air, something white-fleshed like a vineyard peach and a little mirabelle as well as white currants show up. In the background the slate is always present - slightly smoky, spicy and with a hint of wool wax and lichen.
Mouth
On the palate, the Riesling is currently just as shy as on the nose. It seems almost light and prancing in the first moment. But you quickly notice that it is bubbling in the underground. Again, the fruit is rather green but ripe, bright and clear with phenolic structure and infused with taut ripe acidity. At the same time, the wine is full of energy and full of that deep dark minerality that gives the Fahrlay ...is its own. This will be wonderful, but still needs a lot of time, air, a carafe and big glasses.
