This is the bottle that makes a case for low-alcohol Riesling as one of wine's great pleasures. At just 7.5% alcohol, Clemens Busch's off-dry Kabinett from the Marienburg is light on its feet but electric, the ripe fruit and gentle sweetness held taut by mouthwatering acidity. It comes from the same steep, biodynamically farmed Punderich slate as the estate's dry grand crus, spontaneously fermented and raised in old Fuder casks. Serve it well chilled with lunch, with spicy food, or on its own on a hot afternoon. From the fresh 2025 vintage; marked [Pre-Arrival ETA 7/15].

"The 2025 Marienburg Kabinett is precise and aromatic on the reductive nose that is reminiscent of mango and papaya as well as broken slate and salt. The wine is lush and savory on the palate, very fresh, crystalline and saline and finishes with lemon and just-ripe mango aromas. This Marienburg Kabinett is filigreed but enormously vital and aromatic and reveals a mouthwatering, lemon-scented finish. The acidity is pretty high and electrifying yet ripe. Bottled in March 2026 with 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in March 2026." —Stephan Reinhardt

More about Clemens Busch

Clemens, the 5th of his name, along with wife Rita, are stalwarts of biodynamics and natural wine making, a rarity in the Mosel. Situated on the diving line between the middle and lower Mosel, they've single handedly regained recognition for their home vineyard, Marienberg.

The Marienberg was collateral damage of German bureaucracy in 1971. It's 23 hectares were expanded to include 91 hectares and its reputation quickly faded. Clemens and Rita have spent a lifetime teasing out the once recognized parcels and applying their lost names. Red, grey and blue slate snake through the vineyard. Each bottle, besides being a single vineyard, is further divided by slate type with a corresponding capsule to indicate which color it was grown on.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
