Crafted by the biodynamic pioneer Clemens Busch in the steep-sloped village of Pünderich, this Spätburgunder Sekt Blanc de Noir Brut showcases a different side of the Mosel, a region globally famous for Riesling. Made from Pinot Noir grapes that are gently pressed immediately after harvest to avoid extracting color from the skins, this sparkling wine undergoes traditional bottle fermentation and extended aging on the lees. The vines thrive on the dramatic, slate-rich soils of the Mosel, imparting a distinctive, smoky minerality to the wine. This Sekt beautifully bridges the gap between the structural elegance of Pinot Noir and the razor-sharp precision of Mosel terroir, offering delicate notes of white cherry, brioche, and wet stone.
🍾 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.
