What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
Clemens Busch Marienburg 'Fahrlay Reserve' GL 2016 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a white wine, but its grape variety is not yet confirmed in the catalogue.
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.

Source-supplied bottle description
Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.
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.
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.
