More about 2020 Clemens Busch Grosses Gewachs Marienburg Fahrlay Mosel Riesling Clemens Busch is family owned and operated on a property built in 1663 overlooking the Mosel River, where some of the world’s most outstanding and classic styles of Rieslings thrive. Just under 40 acres, Riesling accounts for 99% of plantings on weathered slate soils on steep terraces that have been organically farmed since 1984, resulting in healthy, deep-rooted vines and wines of the highest quality. Grosses Gewächs (GG) began by a group of top producers in the early 2000s to identify the best vineyard sites similar to the Grand Crus of Burgundy, with requirements for yields and level of ripeness at harvest, all of which much be done by hand, and the wines must be dry. Wines from the 2020 vintage in the Mosel region are sleek, crisp, and elegant, and the GG Marienburg Fahrlay Riesling portrays flinty minerality from the grey and blue slate soils with layers of bright fruits and spice that linger into a hedonistically long finish.
