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.
What the critics say:
"Very exotic but also very delicate and precise, this is a great riesling Spatlese. Stunning concentration and vibrancy on the medium-bodied palate. Extremely long, finely nuanced slatey finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold."
"The 2023 Pundericher Marienburg Spätlese Goldkapsel was mode without botrytis, with grapes from Falkenlay and Fahrlay within the Marienburg that were too advanced in ripeness for the GG. Supple peach and vivid lemon are set against slate on the nose. It fizzes away, spraying sweetness, clarity and stoniness. There is no weight, just exquisite lightness, ease and elegance. It dances, pirouettes, tip-toes and ruffles its tutu. This is simply wonderful and so zesty. Despite all of its playfulness, it should be taken seriously. The 2023 will shine for decades. (Sweet)"
