How this wine record is connected
BottlePicker keeps identifier, origin, vineyard and availability evidence separate so one type of record is not mistaken for another.
- Bottle identity
- Structured catalogue identity
Name, producer, vintage, bottle size and origin fields are retained as the recorded catalogue identity. - Vineyard evidence
- 2 explicit links
Shown only where a wine-to-vineyard record exists; a retailer title alone never creates a site link. - Origin context
- No official context attached
Regional context appears only when the recorded origin can be matched safely.

What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
Clemens Busch, Marienburg 'Fahrlay-Terrassen' Riesling Trocken GG 2020 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a 2020 white wine made from Riesling.
Typical grape profile: Riesling — From bone-dry to lusciously sweet; lime, green apple, and a distinctive petrol note with age. The finished bottle can differ with vintage and winemaking.
The vineyard evidence
The evidence link identifies Fahrlay as named-sector with high confidence. The vineyard record lists Riesling.
Soil structure and vine density
Source-recorded ground: Hard blue slate, unique within the producer's Marienburg holdings. Geology: Blue slate with deep water-bearing fissures.
The geological description alone is not enough to infer drainage, water storage or measured soil density.
A soil name is not a bulk-density measurement. BottlePicker only shows soil bulk density where a laboratory or modelled value exists. Texture interpretation follows USDA NRCS soil-water guidance.
Growing-temperature context
Riesling: Cool-climate example; typically 1,800–2,500 growing degree days on the °F scale, equivalent to about 1,000–1,390 °C-days accumulated above a 10°C base.
Heat bands use Oregon State University Extension. The OIV climate method treats growing-season temperature as accumulated heat above 10°C, not a fixed daily target.

Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
