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.
🍾 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.
