Clemens Busch Riesling (Dry) Pundericher Marienburg Rothenpfad GG 2016  - First Bottle

Reviews

94 Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate -
From red slate, the flinty-flavored 2016 Pundericher Marienburg Riesling GG "Rothenpfad" is pure, fresh, precise and intense on the nose, indicating perfectly ripe yet remarkably fine fruit and great mineral complexity. Full-bodied, lush and intense on the palate, with very fine tannins, mineral flavors and almost round, silky-textured fruit, this is a powerful but impressively finessed Rothenpfad with remarkable purity and mineral tension. The acidity is absolutely fine, and the long finish reveals remarkable balance. Still young but very promising. Bottled at the end of September; tasted February 2018. -- Stephan Reinhardt in Issue #236, APR 2018

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
GG stands for "Grosses Gewachs", or "great site/growth" and is made in tiny quantities, much prized by serious Riesling collectors. Intense, gorgeously mineral and oh-so very FINE. Precise. Amazing!!

About the Producer

Clemens Busch and his wife Rita took over the family business in 1984 and since have shaped it into one of the most iconoclastic estates in the Mosel. A firm believer that natural practices in the vines and cellar lead to to the ultimate expression of terroir, Clemens exemplifies the balance between tradition and forward thinking we so look forward to when seeking out new producers. The majority of Clemens's production is grown on the extremely steep Pundericher Marienburg, a 25 hectare vineyard that spans an entire hillside exposed full South/Southwest. This incredible vineyard sits right on the edge of the river and is widely considered amongst the very best sites in the Mosel. 16 of the Clemens' hectares are here, with only 2 hectares originally inherited from his father.
