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 Raffes is a dry wine (with 8 g/l of residual sugar) fermented spontaneously in traditional oak casks from late-harvested fruit in a prime terraced part of the grey-slated Falkenlay sector and which underwent an extended maturation on its lees. It shows a quite aromatic and impressively captivating nose of orange blossom, tangerine, smoke, herbs, candied grapefruit, minty herbs, and yellow peach. The wine is delicately creamy and fruit-driven on the light-weighted and subtle palate. The finish has more grip and intensity as a hint of tartness and zest come through. This dry rather than fully bone-dry Riesling needs a few years to integrate its elements and could well surprise us at maturity when it has gained even more complexity. 2026-2036+"
