Clemens Busch Riesling Vom Blauen Schiefer 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
Germany, Mosel
R525
‘The 2022 Riesling vom Blauen Schiefer is like the little brother of the Fahrlay. This is where it was harvested, as well as from the blue slate parcels above. It also contains any fruit that does not make the Fahrlay GG. Slatey smoke and lemon-edged yellow plum come with a hint of ozone on the nose. The concentrated palate tingles with rounded freshness and lemony stone fruit, driving deep into the stone with pronounced saltiness. (Dry) 2023-2045’ – Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous, 90-92/100
‘Meadow flowers, dried lemon peel, parsley and wonderful smoky notes from slate on the nose. On the palate there's peach, and hints of honey, ginger and kumquat. The salty minerality continues skillfully throughout as it continues to develop in the glass, with excellent length.’ – Ulrich Sautter, falstaff, 91/100

| 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. |
