Tasting notes
The 2020 Marienburg GG Falkenlay opens with a clear, pure and crunchy slate aroma intermingled with generous, ripe and concentrated, very elegant Riesling fruit with herbal aromas. Full-bodied and rich yet refined and saline on the palate, this is a very delicate, pure yet also lush and superbly balanced Falkenlay with lingering salinity, fine tannins and mineral tension. It's very long and almost austere in its merciless terroir character. A great, original Riesling from the Marienburg. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.

On the nose the Falkenlay appears the most generous of Busch’s Grosse Gewächse with aromas of grapefruit, orange and apricot. This wealth of fruit is well transmitted to the palate with great generosity of flavour and texture, but not without contours, provided by ripe acidity and a subtle combination of nut, kernel and spice.
