Vineyard and growing context
The wine
Weingut Clemens Busch, Marienburg Riesling 'Fahrlay' Auslese, - Half 2023 Wine (375ml) is recorded as a 2023 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 Fahrlay as named-sector with high confidence. The vineyard record lists Riesling.
Soil and vine spacing
Recorded soil: 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.

Read the retailer’s description
The description below is the retailer’s own wording.
Clemens and his wife Rita are a humble yet hugely respected duo, having built a cult following over the past 30 years for their incredibly precise, richly textured, and terroir-driven wines. In the world of Riesling, the Mosel is king, and their wines capture its essence like no other. Clemens' Fahrlay vines grow on blue slate soils, lending the wines a striking minerality and a subtle saline edge. These are incredibly focused, tightly structured wines with remarkable drive and purity. Since 2015, they’ve been part of Respekt, a group of biodynamic winemakers. But Clemens has been ahead of the game for decades—he ditched herbicides back in 1976 and embraced organic viticulture long before it became mainstream. Nowhere else is the connection between vine, winemaker, and terroir so perfectly expressed—and honestly, we’ve yet to find Rieslings quite like these.
