In the glass, the 2021 Falkenlay GG is precise and tightly woven, opening with aromas of white peach, citrus zest, herbs, and a subtle smoky, slate-driven minerality. The palate is firm and linear, with layers of stone fruit, crushed rock, and spice carried by razor-sharp acidity. Structured yet graceful, it shows both intensity and finesse, with a long, saline finish.

Among the first German winemakers to embrace organic farming in 1984, Clemens Busch is celebrated as one of the leading biodynamic producers of the Mosel, crafting wines that are both pure and expressive of their individual vineyard sites. They are members of the prestigious VDP organisation of the top producers in Germany.

What the critics say:

95-96/100Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate

"The 2021 Marienburg GG Falkenlay is deep, clear and refined on the complex and flinty, iodine and herbal nose. Round and rich yet elegant and refined on the palate, this is a full-bodied yet delicate and elegant Falkenlay with fine acidity and tannin grip on the long and intense finish. Tasted as a sample at the domaine in July 2022."

17.5/20Jancis Robinson

"Dark and brooding, savoury aromatics with hints of deep orange and herbal, nearly medicinal. Then like a ray of fruity sunshine, a gentle, round and juicy core emerges from the rocky landscape. Lemon, white currant, and wow that's some serious spice. Perfectly poised. Shockingly approachable in its youth."
