Clemens Busch – Riesling Marienburg Falkenlay GG 2023

The Riesling Marienburg Falkenlay GG 2023 from Clemens Busch shines with a radiant, bright golden yellow that underscores its crystalline purity and youth. In the glass, a captivating bouquet of ripe apricots, peaches, and pears unfolds, complemented by delicate notes of mint, lemon balm, and black tea. The deep, grey slate soils of the steep Falkenlay vineyard impart a distinctive minerality and an almost creamy texture to the wine, accompanied by lively acidity and a subtle salinity.

On the palate, the wine displays an impressive balance between bittersweet fruit opulence and crisp, crystalline freshness. Aromas of lychee, pineapple, and beech smoke linger through a long, invigorating finish characterized by a delicate nuttiness and an almost exotic spiciness. A Grand Cru of great depth and elegance, masterfully capturing the uniqueness of the terroir and the biodynamic practices of Clemens Busch.
