The 2024 Riesling Pündericher Marienburg Fahrlay Grosses Gewächs is as stony as its little brother vom Blauen Schiefer. Slate and precision are its DNA, even if they are still tightly coiled. Its core is exquisitely concentrated, bone-dry, taut and smooth. Everything is here, but it still needs to unfurl. The 2024’s lemony brightness and ripeness is immense and so very taut. (Bone-dry)

Very concentrated and peachy, this is a stunning riesling GG for the challenging 2024 vintage, with great structure and elegance on the generous, medium-bodied palate. It keeps pumping out the fruit in the finish, where the delicate spiciness adds a whole new dimension. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold.

The 2024 Fahrlay GG Pündericher Marienburg offers clear, elegant and aromatic pineapple, stone fruit and ripe peach aromas intertwined with saline notes, flinty slate and even some floral nuances. Elegant and refined on the palate, this is a dense, crystalline and dry but irresistibly aromatic and stimulatingly saline Fahrlay with a lemon-bitter finish. It comes from up to 80-year-old vines on blue slate. This is spectacularly charming for its young age but indicates excellent potential as well. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in March 2026.
