Clemens Busch Masterclass Taste Lab Kit

A masterclass tasting of wines from the world-renowned 'Wizard of the Mosel' Clemens Busch.

German wines are one of those hidden secrets and have an odd reputation in the UK which results from the 1980s, when dilute sweet wine was the order of the day. But Clemens Busch was one of the pioneers of site-focused top notch wines which he farms organically from the famous Marienburg hill, which lies just across the river Mosel from his home village of Pünderich. This tasting is a wonderful opportunity to try a set of perfectly balanced wines from different vineyard sites and underlying slate and soil:

The 'vom roten Schiefer', 1x 37.5cl 
A village level wine grown on a red slate slope (dry)
Marienburg GG, 1x 37.5cl 
The Grand Cru wine from across the Marienburg hill (dry)
Marienburg Rothenpfad GG, 1x 37.5cl 
The Grand Cru wine from the red slate Rothenfad vineyard (dry)
Marienburg Falkenlay GG, 1x 37.5cl 
Grand Cru wine from the grey slate vineyard of Falkenlay (dry)

Try these wines and be amazed at the wonders of Riesling and the difference in smells, tastes and textures to be found by exploring just one hill.
