| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.2 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by klezman on 5/24/2023: Excellent dry Riesling with a lot of extract. Definitely fits what I expect from a spatlese trocken and it didn't let me down. Great stuff, long life ahead of it, and a stupidly good price. (684 views) | | | Tasted by Astro2004 on 5/10/2023 & rated 91 points: Medium straw in color. Still fresh and vibrant - much more complex than iI expected at the prices point - wish I’d bought more. (258 views) | | | Tasted by yzalexis on 3/25/2023 & rated 92 points: Poured a beautiful bright golden yellow. On the nose seemed to be an almost overbearing petrol note counterbalanced with pear and lime. Honeydew, grapefruit, and honey on the palate accompanied with a wonderful salinity. Had this been presented to me with its vintage undisclosed to me, I would have never guessed it was a 14 year old treat. It had such youthful fruit and spectacular, puckering acidity. (298 views) | | | Tasted by Mrbuzz on 9/18/2021 & rated 94 points: I know nothing about this wine...and am not really "into" Riesling, especially German...but I do appreciate the style and a good bottle or two. I was sold this wine a long time ago, from someone I bought Trimbach FE from, and noted that dry style that I prefer. Cracked this bottle on a whim...first noted the tropical creamy fruits...mainly pineapple...green apple tartness...candied peach...banana skin wax...but here is where this wine shines...KILLER crushed mineral salinity! LOVE the dryness in this wine...very Trimbach-ish...smoky flint strike, yet perceived sweetness from the ripe and full bodied fruits...the dryness and crisp acidity...coupled with the exotic tropical flower florals makes it! Waxy and full bodied texture is pleasing...little white honey butter and petrol from aged complexity is engaging...SO pleasing and a true joy to drink!
For people in the know...tell me more about this wine and producer? (976 views) | | | Tasted by Paui on 5/19/2017 & rated 84 points: glad this was my last bottle (1561 views) | | | Tasted by Paui on 7/18/2015 & rated 87 points: drank over two days, more settled on day 2. much of the bitternote has turned into minerality, austere fruit in the mid palate, very dry mouthfeel. I remember a 1988 Reinhartshausen Spätlese Trocken, drank in the mid 90s, also dry, that wine developed firn with ageing and became smoother and a nice interpretation of a dry late harvest wine. will keep my last bottle at least 3-5 years to see this mature. 87 points for now. (2259 views) | | | Tasted by Schönibert on 5/14/2015 & rated 91 points: Auf Anhieb großer trockener Rheingau Riesling, hier bestens verkörpert und leider nicht mehr vorhanden. Verfügbare Flaschen aufkaufen und aussaufen! Mit der Reife erste Manzanilla Anklänge. (2412 views) | | | Tasted by Schönibert on 3/1/2015 & rated 91 points: Ein Aquarell von einem Rheingau Riesling, transparent, scheinen hier die klassischen Eigenschaften wie durch ein altes Fenster hindurch, mild, sanft, zurückhaltend, eben wie mit Wasserfarben gemalt. Ein erhabener, für eine Riesling Spätlese trocken mittlerweile leider seltener Wein.
Versuch aus großem Glas lohnt sich nach wie vor, hier tritt das Holz hervor, sehr geil! (2371 views) | | | Tasted by Schönibert on 1/10/2015: Keine Punkte, da meiner Meinung leichter Fehler. (2194 views) | | | Tasted by Paui on 9/12/2014 & rated 83 points: very dry, slim and short on the palate, not a vintage to drink young, I suppose. I will wait 3-5 years with the next bottle. I had this opened and then kept the bottle for a week in the fridge and an initial slight bitter note vanished, possibly this is still too closed. This is not a wine with the crispy acidity of the Reinharthausens' in the 80s and 90s but we will see. For now only 83p. (1602 views) | | | Tasted by Schönibert on 9/11/2014 & rated 85 points: So beautifull. Well aged best classic dry and almost lightly salted Rheingau Riesling. Slim fit. (983 views) | | | Tasted by Schönibert on 8/28/2014 & rated 86 points: Es ist wie von mir unten beschrieben, diesmal direkt aus dem größeren Glas braucht der Wein dennoch seine Zeit. Für einen Rheingauer endlich mal wieder richtig trocken. Innerhalb von 2h dann trinken. (902 views) | | | Tasted by Nik Lasse Seimsson on 6/14/2014 & rated 88 points: Offered for 36€/48USD for three bottles. Regular bottle price is around 18€/27USD.
Medium golden-yellow, crystal clear. Initially rather muted, aromas improve with temperature. Nose of stones and minerals, vineyard peach, apple and citrus, light, fresh (11.5/15p.). The palate is very dry, hardly any residual sugar, fresh, clean, vivid, aromas of citrus and peach again, medium(-) fruit, medium acidity (11.5./15p.). Well balanced, clear structure, light bodied (7.5/10p.). The finish is lasting, dry, with a nice peachy aftertaste (7.5/10p.).
11.5+11.5+7.5+7.5(+50) = 88/100 - A very dry, very fresh Riesling. Not my favourite one but very good nevertheless. Do not serve too cold, maybe wait another 1-2 years until opening. (1044 views) | | | Tasted by Schönibert on 5/17/2014 & rated 85 points: Zunächst aus dem kleinen VDP-Glas sehr unzugänglich und flach und staubtrocken, dann ins Claret-Glas umgefüllt, schon öffnet sich hier die große Tür und es treten kiesige und holzige Aromen aus dem Glas, wobei der Wein durch und durch trocken bleibt, das ist einer der trockensten Rheingauer, die ich in den letzten Jahren getrunken habe. Nach einiger Zeit zeigen sich Mustkatnuss (...Herr Müller) und eine Spur Zimt in der Nase. Sehr gut. (839 views) | | | Tasted by forceberry on 4/16/2012 & rated 90 points: Thin, slightly yellow color. Reticent, slightly developed nose with hints of mushrooms, smoky minerality and a touch of spiritus fortis. Initially dry and slightly unpretentious, but quickly the wine gains more depth, sweetness and weight: developed notes of pink grapefruit, smoky minerality, some nuttiness and a hint of creaminess. A serious, heavy-set overall impression. Midpalate lacks a bit in the acid department, but less so in the finish. Rather noticeable (13,5 g/l) RS gives a soft, off-dry touch to the lengthy finish. Lemon marmalade, smoky minerality and crunchy acidity in the aftertate.
An unconventional, even aberrant Riesling - a wild card for a blind tasting! Hard to say whether this wine is suitable for ageing or if it will fade out quickly. Nevertheless, it is highly personal Riesling with a nice touch of balancing sweetness. Will give nice, weighty counterbalance to a light meal. An OK, though slightly pricey purchase at 30-35€. (689 views) | | | Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 2/23/2012 & rated 88 points: A tasting at Schloss Reinhartshausen (Vinothek): No Erstes Gewächs this year. Very dry (< 2 gr. RS), extremely minerally but also a bit unknit, structure reminds me of Dauvissat's Chablis 2009, needs time. (1187 views) |

The site of “Marcobrunn” has a slightly inclined slope with southern exposure and is located in the district of Erbach. Its name dates back to the 13th century and reminds us of a “Brunnen” (well) situated on the boundaries between Erbach and Hattenheim. The vineyard covers an area of 6.7 ha and is essentially cultivated with Riesling vines which find here the perfect growing conditions.
Here in the Marcobrunn site, the terroir is the source of the quality of its wines. The heavy and deep soils are multi-layered. Loess loam and chalky soil formed of marl and sand provide for excellent nutrients and balance the water supply during dry periods.
The Erbacher Marcobrunn enjoys international acclaim and belongs to the richest and most valuable sites in Germany. Body, power and structure of the wines are in great harmony with the freshness of its minerals and its elegance. They are known to have been appreciated hundreds of years ago by Goethe, Schlegel, Fontane, Jefferson and many more.

Lagenbeschreibung:
Der Marcobrunn liegt in der Gemarkung Erbach 50 Grad in nördlicher Breite, 26 Grad nach dem Meridian von Ferro und enthält an Fläche 8 7/8 Morgen. Die nächste Waldung ist 1200 Klafter entfernt. Südlich stößt er fast an den Rhein. Der Weinberg liegt 210 Pariser Fuß über der Meeresfläche. Die mittlere Temperatur ist 11 Grad Reaumür.
Boden:
Der Boden trägt unverkennbare Spuren von Auflösung. Man findet abwechselnd Letten, die hier und da mit etwas Mergel, schwerem und Lehm wenige Sandadern, auch Traß. Nicht selten zeigen sich die verschiedenen Erdarten schichtweise übereinander und enthalten öfter Wassermuscheln in großer Zahl. Als untermischte Steinadern finden sich Quarz, Wacke, Würfelschiefer, auch eine Granitart. Die meisten solcher Steine, wie auch der Traß sind eisenschüssig. Felsen fanden sich hier nicht, obwohl 6-12 Fuß in die Erdschichte eingeschlagen wurde. Die Steine mögen sich zur Erde verhalten wie 1 zu 10. Der Humus ist nur aus Dung erzeugt, dessen alle 3 Jahre 80 Karn pro Morgen eingebracht werden. Schädlich dürfte der Traß seyn, welcher Metalloxyd enthält.

#2014 Vintage Notes:
2014 Vintage Report by Terry Theise
2014 Vintage Report by Wine Spectator
"My gut still tells me the Saar (and to some extent) the Ruwer are better overall in 2014 than the more storied areas of the Mosel proper, but those that spent the requisite time living in their middle-Mosel vineyards made some of the most electric and "feathery" Riesling in a long time (maybe the finest in 20 years - yes, it's true!)" - Jon Rimmerman (Of course only a very short historical memory would call the Saar and Ruwer less 'storied' than the middle Mosel - jht)Rheingau VDP Rheingau (Official site) | The Rheingau (Wines of Germany) | Wikipedia about The Rheingau
On weinlagen.info
The small but fine wine-growing area Rheingau offers one for the culture of the vine ideal microclimate and best soil conditions. The Rhine runs uninterruptedly almost one thousand kilometres from Basel up to its muzzle into the North Sea, in a northerly direction. With a short exception - the Rheingau. The Rheingau mountains force the river to a change in direction here. The vineyards falling in this region to the south stretch really to the sun. The king of the white wines, the Riesling, finds ideal local conditions for the unfolding of his fine fruity and elegant type of vine character on the multilayered weathering grounds with loess, loam and sand additions. |
