WINERY CLEMENS BUSCH

Together with his wife Rita, Clemens Busch has made the family winery one of the most distinguished in the entire Moselle region. Since he took over the management of the winery in the eighties, he has consistently implemented his convictions in terms of natural practices in the vineyard and cellar. This is the only way to achieve the ultimate expression of terroir.

The majority of the aging is done in the traditional Moselle Fuder barrels. These are oak barrels with a capacity of about 1000 liters. The long time on the lees gives the wines of Clemens Busch the necessary complexity and stability. The must from each individual vineyard is kept separately in order to be able to particularly emphasize the individual characteristics of each terroir, especially the best plots with the various slate soils.

The plot "Falkenlay" is located between "Fahrlay" and "Rothenpfad". The soil here is somewhat deeper and characterized by gray slate. This area was always considered by the old winegrowers as the filet piece of the Marienburg. Protected by its special location from the cold winds from the mountain saddle to the east, the grapes always reach a special ripeness here.
The wines from the healthy grapes present themselves fruity, creamy and not only particularly full-bodied, but at the same time also finely mineral. All this also shows this noble Riesling Grosse Gewächs. Fine minerality, intense fruit aromas in the nose and mouth and a very long finish. A Riesling that could not be more animating to drink! Has the potential to reveal much more of itself over the years.
