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 Spätlese, as it is referred to on the front label (the reference to Fass 82 is provided in small print on the back label), was made from fruit harvested in the classical part of the vineyard at 95° Oechsle and was fermented down to fully sweet levels of residual sugar (90 g/l). It has a gorgeous nose of vineyard peach, jasmine, lime tree, candied pineapple, thyme, and bergamot. The wine proves delicately smooth and juicy on the elegantly airy and refined palate. The finish is relatively light and still on the sweet side, so a couple of years are needed for this to fully shine, and there is even some upside potential if the wine gains further complexity and finesse over time. 2032-2052
