The Marienburg vineyard lies in the heart of Germany’s Mosel region, one of the world’s most distinctive Riesling terroirs. This steep, south-facing site captures maximum sunlight in a cool climate, helping grapes achieve ripeness while preserving the bright acidity that defines Mosel Riesling. The soils here are dominated by blue and grey slate, which drains superbly and radiates stored warmth back to the vines — contributing both tension and that characteristic mineral nuance you can taste in the wine.
A Kabinett Riesling is made from fully ripe, healthy grapes picked relatively early in the harvest, giving the wine a delicate (medium-dry) sweetness and vivid freshness. In 2023, conditions in the Mosel allowed for expressive fruit with crisp acidity and clear varietal definition — perfect for this style.
Clemens Busch is one of the most admired names in the Mosel, respected for meticulous vineyard work and a minimalist, terroir-first winemaking approach.
What the critics say:
"Terrific herbal freshness is married to wonderfully succulent white tree fruit on the juicy, light-bodied palate. I love the orange blossom and Amalfi lemon aromas. The hint of grape sweetness is already beautifully integrated. Very silky finish that pulls you back for more. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold."
"The 2023 Riesling Pundericher Kabinett was partially picked in the Marienburg site and also on steep slopes on the village site of the Mosel. lts nose is all flint and smoke, with just a touch of lemon. The palate is light, charming and elegant with a most delicious, slaty citrus flutter. This is a butterfly that spreads joy with every wingbeat. The depth of citrus takes center stage, scenting everything around it with its charm. There1s so much verve and joy here, setting 47.9 g/L of residual sweetness against 9.6 g/L of acidity. (Medium)"
