The Marienburg vineyard sits in the Mosel, with steep, south-facing slopes that maximise sunlight in a cool climate. Its blue and grey slate soils store heat and reflect it back to the vines, allowing grapes to ripen slowly while preserving the region’s signature acidity and mineral tension.
An Auslese is made from individually selected, very ripe bunches, often with a touch of noble botrytis. This careful hand-harvesting concentrates flavour and sweetness, while Mosel’s cool conditions keep the wine fresh and precise — resulting in a sweet Riesling that is rich yet beautifully balanced, with vivid fruit, lift and crystalline clarity.
What the critics say:
"A very compact Mosel Auslese with deep succulence and finely nuanced exotic fruit aromas. But that’s the rational and analytical response. The other side of the brain frolics in the sensuousness of this dangerously juicy wine, and the wonderful freshness in the super-elegant finish keeps pulling you back for more. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold."
"The Riesling 2023 Marienburg Auslese, as it is referred to on the central part of the label, is a fully sweet wine with a gorgeously aromatic and complex nose of honeyed yellow peach, pineapple, licorice, spices, candied grapefruit, mango, acacia, lavender, and yellow plum. The wine develops a superbly creamy, rich, mouth-coating side on the palate, with an almost viscous and unctuous side and plenty of honeyed and yellow fruits, as well as some exotic presence (mainly mango and guava). Yet the finish is pure, refined, and vibrating. This is a splendid Auslese."
