Clemens and his wife Rita are the charming and humble couple behind Clemens Busch, a winery that has gained a cult following over the past three decades for their laser-sharp, richly textured, terroir-defined wines.
Among the first German winemakers to embrace organic farming in 1984, their estate fully transitioned to biodynamic production in 2005. They are members of the prestigious VDP organisation of the top producers in Germany.
What the critics say:
"The 2021 Marienburg GG Fahrlay is enormously pure and flinty on the intense and almost iodine nose that reveals stony and phenolic aromas with mocha notes. Lush and very elegant on the palate, this is a round, intense, textured and balanced Fahrlay with ripe and piquant yet elegant acidity intermingled with young, phenolic grip and mineral tension. With less than seven grams per liter of residual sugar, this is possibly the driest GG of the vintage here. Tasted as a sample at the domaine in July 2022."
"Deep and cool nose of crisp pear, bergamot and a touch of floral honey. Bold and firmly structured, this has impressive depth, but needs some time to open up. Plenty of crushed rock minerality at the long, weighty finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2024."
