Weingut Clemens Busch, Marienburg Riesling 'Felsterrasse' GL, 2024

Est. delivery in late autumn, 2026

From a single, terraced parcel within the famed Pündericher Marienburg vineyard along the Mosel, Felsterrasse means “rock terrace,” referring to the steep terraces with grey slate soils. These are harder and less weathered than other parts of Marienburg; they are famously difficult to cultivate but give vines access to deep, mineral-rich ground - and the slate’s minerality and the extreme slope translate into wines with clarity, structural tension and pronounced slate influence in every vintage.

Classified as VDP.Grosse Lage, the highest vineyard tier in the VDP system, the Felsterrasse is roughly equivalent to a Grand Cru.

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
