Clemens and his wife Rita are a humble yet hugely respected duo, having built a cult following over the past 30 years for their incredibly precise, richly textured, and terroir-driven wines. In the world of Riesling, the Mosel is king, and their wines capture its essence like no other.

Since 2015, they’ve been part of Respekt, a group of biodynamic winemakers. But Clemens has been ahead of the game for decades—he ditched herbicides back in 1976 and embraced organic viticulture long before it became mainstream. Nowhere else is the connection between vine, winemaker, and terroir so perfectly expressed—and honestly, we’ve yet to find Rieslings quite like these.

What the critics say:

97/100James Suckling

"The floral honey and honeydew melon aromas are enveloping, pulling you into the super-creamy, concentrated and caressing palate, the sweetness already so beautifully integrated, the finish super silky and refined. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold."

96/100Mosel Fine Wines

"The Marienburg 2023 Auslese Fahrlay, as it is referred to on the central part of the label, is a fully-sweet wine with a beautifully refined and elegant nose of smoke, bergamot, jasmine, acacia, whipped almond cream, tangerine, and violet. The wine proves gorgeously smooth and elegant on the airy and pure palate. The finish is still slightly compact and dominated by residual sugar at this early stage, yet the complexity and purity are quite breathtaking. This splendid, creamy Auslese needs at least a full decade before true greatness, but the patience will be worth."
