✨ wine.spec_sheet
The Marienburg Fass 2127 Riesling Kabinett is a masterful expression of the steep, slate-laden slopes of Pünderich in the Middle Mosel. Named after the historic Marienburg convent that once looked down upon the river bend, the Marienburg vineyard is a mosaic of diverse slate soils. The 'Fass 2127' designation refers to the specific traditional large oak fuder cask in which this wine is fermented and aged. Clemens Busch utilizes biodynamic farming and spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts to capture the pure, mineral-driven essence of the site. This Kabinett style is celebrated for its exquisite tension, balancing a delicate, feather-light sweetness with a piercing, electric acidity that reflects the cool-climate viticulture of the region.
🍾 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.
