Clemens Busch Marienburg Trockenbeerenauslese 2011 Bottle size: 375ml
Germany, Mosel
R5,000
‘Picked with 290° and 320° Oechsle, the 2011 Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Marienburg offers a rich, ripe and generous bouquet of ginger. Very concentrated and oily textured, honey-sweet but with a vital, mineral acidity and lingering stone fruit flavors, this is another spectacular Riesling of Clemens Busch with lovely mineral flavors in the finish. “We had hail at the beginning of September, which caused 10% of loss and lead to acid rot that again forced us to negative selection. However, botrytis came again, although we had 40° in the beginning of October and then seven weeks of perfect weather. To pick this TBA, we had up to five selections during several weeks.” This wine is opulent, but also fresh and vital, and very precise in its aromas. 2020-2090’ – Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, 99/100

| Producer information | Clemens is the 5th-generation winemaker at his family estate and began using organic practices in 1984. Later a pioneer in biodynamics, Clemens Busch is now a role model for natural, but precise German winemaking. Unlike most of the Mosel region, however, Clemens focuses on dry, elegant Rieslings that express the complex terroir of this historic region. Their unique soils in the town of Pündericherallow them to produce many iterations of the Riesling grape. Clemens Busch is based on the 3 types of slate – red, blue and grey – each imparting different characteristics and styling. |
