From the prized Fahrlay parcel of the Marienburg vineyard, this dry Riesling shows remarkable precision and energy. The nose lifts with lemon zest, white flowers, raspberry, and a touch of spice and herbs. On the palate, it’s lively and focused, with a sleek, dry profile that glides into a finish of bright fruit and that signature blue-slate minerality - steely, saline, and unmistakably Mosel.
Clemens and Rita Busch have spent more than three decades quietly redefining what Riesling can be. Champions of organic and biodynamic farming long before it was fashionable (Clemens banned herbicides back in 1976), their wines radiate authenticity, texture, and terroir. Today they’re cult favourites, celebrated for bottlings that capture the Mosel’s essence with unrivalled clarity and depth.
What the critics say:
"The 2020 Marienburg GG Fahrlay is another fascinating, intense, clear and precise, bright, shining and utterly Mosel-styled Riesling from the blue slate terroir of the Fahrlay parcel that hosts vines that are older than 75 years. The wine reveals remarkable finesse and elegance on the palate and develops a long, refined and salty finish that is less challenging, dramatic and tannic than that of the Rothenpfad and the Marienburg, but it's fabulous in its finesse and elegance. Weightless but long and salty. (Tasted in Wiesbaden in August 2021.)"
"Fairly spirity on the nose with aromas of grapefruit and nut kernel. On the palate the fruit is quite generous with gooseberry and grapefruit flavours, nuances of almond and spice, leading into a rich and long finish. Exceptional substance and extract."
