Marienburg Raffes Clemens Busch 2015 is a single-vineyard dry Riesling from the Mosel region, crafted from vines located on steep slopes of the Marienburg. The 2015 Mosel vintage was noted for its warm weather, which contributed to the full ripeness of the grapes. This wine exhibits a pale gold hue, revealing aromatic notes of petrol, green apple and subtle citrus. On the palate, it is dense and taut, showcasing a pronounced acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish.

From predominantly ungrafted vines on gray slate, the 2015 Pündericher Marienburg Riesling Raffes offers a fascinating bouquet of pure slate with peppery and lemon grass aromas. On the palate, this is a rich and powerful yet elegant and balanced Riesling with great tension, juice and expression. The finish is very long and complex. This is a great dry Mosel Riesling coming from the best part of the Falkenlay terroir of the Pündericher Marienburg. What intensity and finesse! The 2015 will be released in September 2017. - Stephan Reinhardt
94 Vinous
Zesty lime, hickory nut, pine needle and fresh sweat offer an unusual, pungently penetrating aromatic display. Pungency, pith and energetic grip on the palate are allied to simultaneously silky texture. As has been the case with recent Busch collections, this also manages the trick of projecting density while remaining alcoholically modest (at barely 12%) and consequently buoyant. It finishes with equal persistence and nearly as much vibratory energy as the corresponding Felsterrasse while introducing a crystalline sense of stony impingement and a mouthwatering suffusion of mineral salts.
