About this product

Clemens Busch works the impossibly steep slopes of Marienburg with biodynamic conviction, producing Rieslings that capture the essence of blue Devon slate. This 'Fahrlay Reserve' comes from a specific terraced vineyard within the greater Marienburg site, where old vines cling to precipitous gradients above the Mosel. At ten years old, this Grosse Lage is entering its stride. We find it balances the mineral precision that makes Mosel legendary with just enough residual sweetness to soften its razor-sharp edges. The 2016 vintage brought ideal conditions for this style: concentrated fruit with the acidity to age gracefully until 2040.
