Clemens Busch, Marienburg Rothenpfad Riesling GG, 2019

Clemens Busch crafts some of the Mosel's most compelling dry Rieslings from his biodynamic vineyards in Pünderich, and this Grosses Gewächs from the Rothenpfad parcel of the legendary Marienburg vineyard shows exactly why we think he's operating at the very top of German winemaking. The 2019 vintage has given this wine a perfect balance of ripeness and tension.

Rothenpfad sits on the steepest, most mineral-driven section of Marienburg, where red Devon slate meets impossible gradients to create wines of startling precision and age-worthiness. This is bone-dry Riesling that speaks fluent Mosel, with electric acidity and that unmistakable slate signature running through every sip. Ready to drink now but built for the long haul.
