✨ Technical Specifications
The Pündericher Nonnengarten, or 'Nun's Garden,' is a historic vineyard site in the Mosel whose name whispers of ancient monastic viticulture. Weingut Clemens Busch crafts this exquisite Riesling from parcels in this esteemed site, fermenting and aging the wine in 'Fass 29'—a traditional, large oak Fuder cask. Guided by strict biodynamic principles, the estate coaxes a remarkably expressive profile from the vineyard's slate-rich soils. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, resulting in a beautifully textured, mineral-driven Riesling that balances vibrant, crystalline acidity with delicate stone fruit, wild herbs, and a signature salty finish.
🍾 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.
