✨ wine.spec_sheet
Crafted from the steep, sun-drenched slopes of the legendary Pündericher Marienburg vineyard, this Kabinett is a masterclass in Mosel tension and purity. The vineyard itself takes its name from a historical Franciscan convent that once stood high above the river bend, guarding these historic slopes. Clemens Busch utilizes biodynamic farming to coax the purest expression of the complex slate soils, which range from grey to red and blue. Fermented spontaneously in traditional oak Fuder casks, this wine captures the classic, ethereal play between vibrant, electric acidity and delicate residual sweetness. It is a historic style that showcases the Mosel's unique ability to produce wines of immense flavor and complexity at remarkably low alcohol levels.
🍾 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.
