Color
The wine has a bright golden yellow colour with fine green reflections.

Aroma
The 2020 Marienburg Riesling "Fahrlay Terrassen" Großes Gewächs presents itself in pure noblesse. On the nose, it unfolds a hint of Burgundy, paired with aspects of rock, citrus, iodine nuances and a hint of white pepper. A drop of filigree charm and precision whose seductive fragrance beguiles with the very first breath.

Taste
Arriving on the palate, it virtually dances on the tongue, while its gentle acidity caresses the sweetness of the fruit and introduces fine tannins. With each sip, the temptation for more is awakened. A wine that glides down the throat like a refreshing summer rain and provides unsurpassable drinking pleasure even in the early stages. We can be curious to see how it will continue to develop in the decades to come. Once again, Clemens Busch has managed to create a wine of such tranquillity and perfection that it will become the new standard for the Moselle and the entire vinophile world. If you want to enjoy its taste right now, you should open it early and give the wine time to breathe.

Alternative food recommendations
Try a crisp romaine salad with fresh white asparagus, sour rhubarb, healthy linseed and spicy mint. Or perhaps a juicy lemon risotto with pulpo grilled to perfection. Last but not least, a light veal fillet paired with a sophisticated orange-wakame salad. You will be amazed at how well these dishes complement the wine.
