Clemens Busch —
Riesling from the steep slopes of the Moselle
Clemens Busch cultivates his vineyards in Pünderich on the Moselle, where the vines are rooted in steep slate soil. The slopes demand meticulous manual labor—machines are not used here. This effort is evident in the glass: clear fruit, vibrant acidity, and a minerality that speaks directly of the soil.
The Busch family works according to biodynamic principles and avoids synthetic interventions in both the vineyard and the cellar. Spontaneous fermentation and gentle aging on the lees are not marketing terms, but a lived practice – the result is Rieslings that precisely reflect their origin and vintage, without concealing any adjustments.
The range extends from dry village wines to lusciously sweet Auslese and Beerenauslese wines. For those seeking an introduction: the dry estate wines already exhibit the typical Pünderich slate character. Those wishing to delve deeper will find single-vineyard wines like the Marienburg Riesling, offering a long drinking window and high aging potential.
