✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by biodynamic pioneer Clemens Busch in the steep, slate-laden amphitheater of Pünderich, the Low Sulphur Riesling Trocken represents a daring, minimalist evolution of classic Mosel winemaking. Sourced from organically and biodynamically tended vines rooted in complex slate soils, this cuvée undergoes spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in traditional oak Fuder casks. Bottled with minimal intervention and little to no added sulfur, it offers a texturally rich and incredibly vibrant expression of the grape. This low-intervention approach coaxes out an earthy, wild side of Riesling, balancing electric acidity with deep, saline minerality and raw, unfiltered energy that pays homage to ancestral cellar practices.
🍾 About the Producer
Weingut Clemens Busch is a benchmark biodynamic producer established within family lineage since 1802 and headquartered in a 1663 half-timbered riverside estate in Pünderich, at the threshold of the Terrassenmosel. Celebrated as early champions of ecological viticulture in Germany, Clemens and Rita Busch converted to organic methods in 1984 and later embraced biodynamics, now managing roughly 20 hectares alongside their son Johannes. Viticulture is dominated by ungrafted, steep-slope Riesling vines perched on the dramatic Pündericher Marienburg amphitheater. The estate meticulously isolates individual historical parcels—such as Fahrlay, Falkenlay, Felsterrasse, and Rothenpfad—categorized on capsules and labels by bedrock typology across blue, grey, and red Devonian slates. In the cellar, natural fermentations proceed spontaneously in traditional neutral wooden Fuder casks with prolonged fine lees contact. The resulting dry Grosses Gewächs and pristine Prädikat dessert bottlings deliver structural depth, saline minerality, and profound textural complexity.
