Clemens Busch, Riesling Kabinett Marienburg, 2025 [Pre-Arrival ETA 7/15]

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].
