Sourced from the Fahrlay parcel of the Pündericher Marienburg vineyard, Clemens Busch's Riesling Fahrlay is notable for its unique blue slate soil, which imparts a distinct minerality and vibrant acidity.

The 2024 Mosel vintage was marked by a challenging season and low yields, but the quality is high. The wines are fresh and precise, with bright acidity and moderate alcohol.

"The wines are exquisite, and each of the various Marienburg parcels is different: they shimmer aromatically, are alluring and profound, intense yet streamlined. Truly one of the Mosel’s best."
Anne Krebiehl, Vinous

Clemens and his wife Rita are a humble yet hugely respected duo, having built a cult following over the past 30 years for their incredibly precise, richly textured, and terroir-driven wines. Produced biodynamically and organically since 1984, they are a compelling choice for Riesling enthusiasts who appreciate a mineral-driven profile.

What the critics say:

96/100Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous

"The 2024 Riesling Pündericher Marienburg Fahrlay Grosses Gewächs is as stony as its little brother vom Blauen Schiefer. Slate and precision are its DNA, even if they are still tightly coiled. Its core is exquisitely concentrated, bone-dry, taut and smooth. Everything is here, but it still needs to unfurl. The 2024's lemony brightness and ripeness is immense and so very taut. (Bone-dry) "

17.5+/20Jancis Robinson

"A scent of wild mint and lemon balm with ripe apricot and pink grapefruit, underscored by a cool whisper of smoke and wet stone. Dry, creamy start gives way to a chiselled, unwavering intent. Compared with the Marienburg, here the linear edges are etched with a jeweller's precision, deeper, sharper and more defined. Compelling momentum and tension."

96/100James Suckling

"Very concentrated and peachy, this is a stunning riesling GG for the challenging 2024 vintage, with great structure and elegance on the generous, medium-bodied palate. It keeps pumping out the fruit in the finish, where the delicate spiciness adds a whole new dimension. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold."
