Marienglas is the apotheosis of Riesling possibility in the singular soils of Gips. An elegantly dressed aristocrat speaking confidently but quietly that commands attention by dint of its innate quality. Ten months in large barrels serve to soften and round the edges of what is a famously high-acid vintage, with all the aromatic thrills that one has come to expect from this grape, place and time. Not cheap, but worth every penny.
