About this product

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.
