Clemens Busch Riesling Trocken 2023

Alcohol: 10.5%

Grape(s): Riesling

Localization: Mosel, Germany

Tasting Notes: It is characterized by a delicate greenish-yellow dress and expresses hints of minerals, green apple, lime peel, and hints of millefiori honey. At the mouthfeel, it is very fresh, with a light sugar residue that makes it soft and enveloping. 

The Domain: The winery is located in the town of Punderich, a small picturesque village at the beginning of the Terassenmosel. In 1984 the owners decided to convert to organic viniculture. In practice, that means time-intensive and often difficult work by hand on the steep slopes, along with the avoidance - without compromise - of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers. Nature returns the favor with healthy soil and vital, deep-rooted vines. 

Our ultimate goal is to produce wines of the highest quality and individuality. We aim to achieve this through respectful interaction with the environment. Conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity is, for us, the essential function. To protect the vine we use various teas and herbal mixtures. Nettles strengthen the immune system and carry basic elements. Silicon-rich horsetail grass contains roll-off effects. Chamomile soothes stress. As protection against fungus, we use copper and sulfur which are supported by herbal mixtures that function as herbicides.

We care for our vines primarily by hand, with dedication and expertise, under the optimal exploitation of wind, rain, and sun.
