Pündericher Marienburg Riesling Grosses Gewächs

Harvested late, so the ripeness and power are unequivocal, but here is an object lesson in the importance of physiological ripeness—it is the profound, chiseled minerality that makes this Grosses Gewächs (Great Growth) sing. All other Busch vinification trademarks are present: skin contact, natural yeasts, ageing on the lees in Fuder. And the wine is ready now, though it will last at least another twenty years.
