The Marienburg Riesling Kabinett No. 4 is a sublime testament to the steep, grey slate slopes of the Pündericher Marienburg. Named after the historic Marienburg convent that once stood sentinel over this dramatic loop of the Mosel River, the vineyard possesses a unique microclimate. Clemens Busch crafts this Kabinett using biodynamic principles, allowing spontaneous fermentation in traditional oak Fuder casks. The 'No. 4' designation refers to a specific traditional cask bottling, capturing a style defined by its delicate play between natural residual sweetness and vibrant, electric acidity. It is a wine that whispers of wet stones, white peaches, and wild herbs, embodying the classic, feather-light elegance of traditional Mosel Kabinett.
🍾 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.
