Clemens Busch Riesling Pundericher Marienburg Raffes 2017
Riesling | Germany
$99.95 - 750mL
We are the ONLY place in the USA to have this rare gem from Clemens Busch. This is simple stunning Riesling -- you need to taste to believe! It is an Auslese styled wine that has 9 grams of sugar but you'd never know it with the incredible balance the acidity provides. 98 points from Wine Advocate and produced in minuscule quantities! This is for the true aficionado!
The majority of Clemens' production is grown on the extremely steep Pundericher Marienburg, a 25 hectare vineyard that spans an entire hillside exposed full South/Southwest. This vertigo-inducing vineyard sits right on the edge of the river directly across from the village of Punderich, where it's expertly farmed biodynamically and is widely considered amongst the very best sites in the Mosel.Technical Details

About The Producer
Reviews
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2017 Pundericher Marienburg Riesling Raffes is the essence of gray slate. Bright in color and flavors but also intense and intermixed with lemon-fresh stony notes, this is a concentrated yet pure, fresh and finessed, highly intense and refined Riesling with great length and an endless finish. This is a powerful but Auslese-styled Riesling with concentration, finesse and lots of power but no alcoholic impression. The wine was bottled with 13% alcohol and almost nine grams of residual sugar. Tasted March 2019.
