✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the legendary, steep slopes of the Pündericher Marienburg, the 'Fass 2304' Riesling Kabinett is a masterclass in Mosel tension and terroir. The Marienburg vineyard itself carries deep historical resonance, named after a historical Franciscan convent that once stood high above the river bend. Under the biodynamic stewardship of Clemens and Rita Busch, this wine is sourced from parcels rich in grey slate, which imparts a distinct smoky minerality. Fermented spontaneously in traditional large oak Fuder casks (with 'Fass 2304' denoting the specific historic vessel), this Kabinett captures the ethereal, dancing play between natural residual sweetness and a piercing, electric acidity. It is a brilliant testament to the estate's commitment to minimal intervention and pure soil expression.
🍾 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.
