About this wine

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.
