✨ 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
Situated in the picturesque village of Pünderich along the dramatic slopes of Germany's Middle Mosel, Weingut Clemens Busch has been led by Clemens and Rita Busch since taking over the historic family estate in the 1980s. Regarded as pioneering trailblazers of organic and biodynamic viticulture in the region, the estate is dedicated to natural, low-intervention winemaking that deeply respects the ecosystem. Their work centers around the legendary, south-facing Pündericher Marienburg hillside, where varying sub-parcels of gray, red, and blue slate are vinified separately to showcase pure terroir expression. Clemens Busch is internationally acclaimed for profound, textured, and mineral-driven dry Rieslings—most notably their Grosses Gewächs expressions like Fahrlay, Falkenlay, and Rothenpfad—alongside exquisite noble sweet and sparkling wines.
