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.
🍾 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.
