Riesling from the Blue Slate 2022 (0.75l)

The Riesling "vom blauen Schiefer" is Busch's second wine from the Fahrlay vineyard in Pünderich's Marienburg. A clear, fresh nose with hints of apple, fresh citrus, a touch of white flowers, and stony, slate notes. Then a touch of cassis comes along, blending wonderfully with the dark, spicy minerality. On the palate, a fresh, clear entry full of salty piquancy, fine tannins coat the mouth, complex aromas of lemon, orange, and even a hint of tangerine mingle. Added to that is that stony, slate-like minerality, which underscores the wine's overall rather austere character. With more air, it becomes increasingly fragrant, floral, and playful. It's all very nuanced and complex; a lot is happening here, without overdoing it. A wonderfully structured Riesling in typical Clemens Busch style. Already open and charming, it has a lot of potential for years to come!
