✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
