What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
Clemens Busch, Marienburg 'Raffes' GL 2020 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a 2020 white wine made from Riesling in Mosel.
Typical grape profile: Riesling — From bone-dry to lusciously sweet; lime, green apple, and a distinctive petrol note with age. The finished bottle can differ with vintage and winemaking.
The vineyard evidence
The evidence link identifies Pündericher Marienburg as named-vineyard with high confidence. The vineyard record lists Riesling.
Soil structure and vine density
Source-recorded ground: Predominantly grey slate in the original sector below the former Marienburg convent; named subsectors include red-, blue- and grey-slate parcels. Geology: Devonian slate in multiple colours and degrees of weathering.
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’s Raffes 2020 is a powerful, single-vineyard Riesling from the steep slopes of the Mosel. Sourced from 100-year-old, ungrafted vines rooted deep in the slate soils of the Marienburg vineyard, it’s the estate’s most intense and structured expression. The wine comes from Weingut Clemens Busch, one of the leading biodynamic estates in the Mosel. Clemens and his wife Rita have been pioneers of organic and biodynamic farming here since the 1980s, long before it became common practice. They focus on single-vineyard bottlings that highlight the different slate soils (blue, grey, red) of the Marienburg hillside.
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.
