Each year in september the VDP members gather in Trier to auction their 'best' barrels of wine. We have been attending since 2010 and are delighted to bring a few bottles back to sell in Bordeaux
 
The 2022er Marienburg Riesling Kabinett, as it is referred to on the front label (the reference to Fass 04 is provided in small print on the back label), was made from fruit harvested in the classical part of the vineyard at 85° Oechsle and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (75 g/l). It delivers a beautifully aromatic and complex nose of orange zest, acacia, candied grapefruit, minty herbs, and ginger. The wine is superbly playful and animating on the juicy and delicately aromatic and rich palate. There is a feeling of smoothness, which is however well lifted by some ripe, juicy acidity coming through in the long finish. This is a superb Kabinett, in a slightly richer yet elegant style. 2030-2042
