Tasting notes
Bottled in mid-August, the 2019 Marienburg GG is very concentrated and rich on the elegant, aromatic, almost oily and very dense (mirabelle) nose. Pure and enormously salty on the palate, this is full-bodied, rich, elegant and silky-textured Marienburg with well-dosed poser on the lean, crystalline, persistently salty and sustainable finish. From vines that are 30+ years old on gray slate. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.

The fragrance of the Marienburg exudes the cool air of wet pebbles in a mountain stream, with the additional attraction of ripe apricot. On the palate invigoratingly fresh, bone dry and showing a very stony minerality. Fruit has a minor walk-on part. (MS)
