Pale golden yellow with greenish reflections, bright and clear in the glass.
Nose
Ripe yellow fruits such as mirabelle plum and apricot, accompanied by citrus zest, honey blossom and the cool, smoky spice of the slate soils.
Palate
Dense and juicy with fine sweetness, supported by precise, vibrant acidity; a long-lasting, mineral-driven finish.
Character
A noble sweet Riesling of seismic minerality and crystalline precision – concentrated, profound yet feather-light on the palate.
Pairing
Blue cheese, goose liver terrine or fruity desserts such as apricot tart; also an exciting match with spicy Asian cuisine.
Notes
From the Grosse Lage Marienburg, where ungrafted vines root up to eight metres deep into the slate; spontaneously fermented in old foudres, biodynamic and Demeter-certified – a wine featured on the lists of five three-star restaurants.
Tasting note
Character
A Riesling of seismic minerality and remarkable tension. The noble-sweet core sustains itself with that effortless lightness which only great Mosel vineyard sites at moderate alcohol can achieve. Here, concentration meets an almost cool precision – a wine that does not flatter, but convinces.
Terroir & Origin
The Pündericher Marienburg is one of the historic steep slopes of the Mosel, from which Clemens Busch has been producing Rieslings of virtually geological clarity for decades. The estate has farmed biodynamically since 1986 and has held Demeter certification since 2015 – a philosophy that becomes visible in the glass. The vines are deeply rooted in slate, the rock formation that gives the Marienburg its unmistakable signature. Depending on the colour of the slate – red, grey or blue – the expression varies, yet the mineral sharpness always remains the unifying element.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Riesling in its noble-sweet expression: this Auslese from a VDP Grosse Lage reveals the full spectrum of the variety – from ripe fruit and floral notes to the smoky spice inherent to the terroir. In the cellar, patience and restraint prevail: spontaneous fermentation in old foudres, extended lees ageing, minimal intervention. The result is a wine of crystalline structure and remarkable length, which never perceives its sweetness as a burden, but rather as a natural extension of the fruit.
Food Pairings
The noble-sweet nature of this Riesling makes it an inspired companion to spicy Asian cuisine – such as Thai curry with coconut milk or fiery Szechuan chicken. It also unfolds its full grandeur alongside blue cheese like Roquefort or a ripe Époisses. Those preferring a more classic pairing might opt for apple strudel or quince paste – combinations in which the wine’s acidity elegantly balances the sweetness of the dish.
