Clemens Busch, Marienburg Kabinett Riesling 2023
The Marienburg vineyard lies in the heart of Germany’s Mosel region, one of the world’s most distinctive Riesling terroirs. This steep, south-facing site captures maximum sunlight in a cool climate, helping grapes achieve ripeness while preserving the bright acidity that defines Mosel Riesling. The soils here are dominated by blue and grey slate, which drains superbly and radiates stored warmth back to the vines — contributing both tension and that characteristic mineral nuance you can taste in the wine. A Kabinett Riesling is made from fully ripe, healthy grapes picked relatively early in the harvest, giving the wine a delicate (medium-dry) sweetness and vivid freshness. In 2023, conditions in the Mosel allowed for expressive fruit with crisp acidity and clear varietal definition — perfect for this style. Clemens Busch is one of the most admired names in the Mosel, respected for meticulous vineyard work and a minimalist, terroir-first winemaking approach.
Clemens Busch, Marienburg Riesling Spätlese Goldkapsel 2023
The Clemens Busch Marienburg Riesling Spätlese Goldkapsel is one of the estate’s most expressive sweet wines, drawn from carefully selected grapes grown on the steep slate slopes of the famed Marienburg vineyard in Pünderich; it’s lusciously sweet yet balanced by vibrant acidity, giving it lift and freshness. The 'Goldkapsel' designation signals a special selection from the Spätlese harvest - often made from riper, more concentrated grapes, yielding greater depth, complexity, and intensity. The term Spätlese literally means “late harvest” in German, referring to grapes picked later in the season when they’ve developed more sugar and flavour concentration. Unlike Auslese or higher Prädikat levels, Spätlese wines can range from delicately off-dry to fully sweet, always with a fine interplay of sweetness and acidity.
