✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted with the same uncompromising biodynamic philosophy that defines their still wines, the Clemens Busch Riesling Sekt Reserve Brut Nature is a masterclass in sparkling Mosel Riesling. Sourced from the steep, slate-rich slopes of Pünderich, the grapes are hand-harvested to preserve their pristine acidity and mineral tension. This cuvée undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle according to the traditional method, followed by an extraordinarily long period of lees aging—often exceeding five to six years—before being disgorged without any dosage. This extended autolysis weaves rich, brioche-like complexity and a creamy texture into the naturally vibrant, electric acidity of the Riesling grape. It stands as a testament to the Busch family's pioneering spirit, transforming the legendary slate terroir of the Mosel into a sparkling wine of profound depth, precision, and crystalline purity.
🍾 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.
