✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
