The Clemens Busch Marienburg Riesling Spätlese Goldkapsel is one of the estate’s most expressive sweet wines, drawn from carefully selected grapes grown on the steep slate slopes of the famed Marienburg vineyard in Pünderich; it’s lusciously sweet yet balanced by vibrant acidity, giving it lift and freshness.
The “Goldkapsel” designation signals a special selection from the Spätlese harvest - often made from riper, more concentrated grapes, yielding greater depth, complexity, and intensity.
The term Spätlese literally means “late harvest” in German, referring to grapes picked later in the season when they’ve developed more sugar and flavour concentration. Unlike Auslese or higher Prädikat levels, Spätlese wines can range from delicately off-dry to fully sweet, always with a fine interplay of sweetness and acidity. At Clemens Busch, Spätlese bottlings, especially those marked Goldkapsel, showcase the estate’s mastery of balance: wines that are indulgent yet precise.
What the critics say:
"This masterpiece is just beginning to blossom! Great bouquet of spring meadows and floral honey, this is a rich, concentrated Spätlese with more than enough structure to carry the substantial weight, the lively acidity providing wonderful delicacy at the finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold."
"Busch's 2019 Marienburg Spätlese Goldkapsel is clear and noble on the intense yet highly elegant and slightly flinty nose that displays perfectly selected Riesling fruit intertwined with floral notes. Tropical aromas on the light and filigreed yet intense and perfectly balanced palate, this gold capsule has a graceful structure and salty-piquant acidity. Notes of mango/pineapple juice fill every corner of this great, pure, refined and highly stimulating Spätlese. A fabulous Riesling and picture-book Spätlese that is impossible to spit! 7.5% alcohol. Tasted from AP 1320 in July 2020."
