The 2015 Pündericher Marienburg Riesling Falkenlay opens clear, pure, fresh and mineral, with concentrated mirabelle aromas on the nose. Fermented for 18 months and aged for another three months on the lees, this was bottled in December 2017 with 20 grams of residual sugar. Smooth, rich, round and elegant on the palate, with intense and perfectly ripe mirabelle fruit as well as great finesse and aging potential, this is a salty-piquant and super lush Riesling that won't go into the markets for another three to five years.
