The 2023 Marienburg Raffes GG Riesling from Clemens Busch presents itself in a radiant pale yellow with golden reflections that reflect its density and ripeness. In the glass, a captivating bouquet unfolds, comprising cool stone fruit, blackcurrant, lychee, and yellow kiwi, underscored by smoky slate notes, graphite, and a delicate wormwood spice. The nose is stony and refined, almost mystical, hinting at the mineral depth of the grey slate on which the old vines of this higher-altitude parcel between Fahrlay and Rothenpfad are rooted.
On the palate, the wine reveals itself with breathtaking precision: an almost ethereal elegance meets a concentrated, dense texture, supported by vibrant acidity and delicate cassis fruit. Alpine herbs and an almost saline minerality lend the finish an endless length and tension. A monumental Riesling that, despite its power, exudes an almost Buddhist serenity and will age for decades.
Marienburg Raffes is a small, elevated parcel within the larger Marienburg vineyard area, nestled between the steep slopes of Fahrlay and Rothenpfad. The barren, grey slate soil and the old, ungrafted vines produce particularly concentrated, mineral-driven wines. The pure southern exposure and the stony structure lend the grapes a unique density and freshness, making Raffes the "crown jewel" of Marienburg. A terroir for wines of great elegance and aging potential.
Riesling is a first-class white wine known for its versatility and elegance. It is characterized by pronounced acidity, delicate fruit aromas, invigorating, light minerality, and outstanding aging potential. Thanks to the balanced climate, extensive steep slopes, and a veritable patchwork of soil types, the Mosel region in particular produces Riesling wines of the highest quality.
The vineyards of the Clemens Busch winery are among the steepest and most prestigious along the Moselle. The terraced vineyards offer optimal conditions for growing Riesling. The expressive soils, characterized by slate, impart a unique minerality and finesse to the grapes. The meticulous care of the vineyards and the focus on biodynamic viticulture underscore Clemens Busch's commitment to sustainable practices. The result is wines of exceptional quality and terroir expression that impressively represent the Moselle wine tradition.
