✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
