Clemens Busch’s Raffes 2020 is a powerful, single-vineyard Riesling from the steep slopes of the Mosel. Sourced from 100-year-old, ungrafted vines rooted deep in the slate soils of the Marienburg vineyard, it’s the estate’s most intense and structured expression. The wine comes from Weingut Clemens Busch, one of the leading biodynamic estates in the Mosel. Clemens and his wife Rita have been pioneers of organic and biodynamic farming here since the 1980s, long before it became common practice. They focus on single-vineyard bottlings that highlight the different slate soils (blue, grey, red) of the Marienburg hillside.
