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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Located in the picturesque village of Pünderich in the Mosel region of Germany, Weingut Clemens Busch is a pioneering estate globally renowned for redefining Mosel Riesling through biodynamic viticulture. Clemens and Rita Busch took over the family estate in 1984, championing organic methods since 1986 and biodynamics since 2005 as members of Respekt Biodyn. The winery's production is deeply tied to the steep slopes of the Pündericher Marienburg vineyard, where they meticulously isolate parcels based on grey, red, and blue slate soils. Utilizing traditional large oak Fuder casks, spontaneous fermentation, and extended lees contact, they craft exceptionally precise, terroir-driven Rieslings, from bone-dry Grosses Gewächs expressions like Rothenpfad and Falkenlay to exquisitely concentrated noble sweet Auslese wines.
