German & Austrian
We've just been given a fabulous allocation from one of the most exciting talents in German winemaking; Clemens Busch. Rita and Clemens Busch own 15 Ha of vineyard on the banks of the Mosel opposite their home village of Pünderich at the start of the Terrassenmosel. The vast majority of the vines are 85-100+ years old and are located in the south-south east facing Marienburg vineyard.
Clemens Busch is among the Mosel’s few organic vintners, and the undisputed champion of the Lower Mosel’s steep Pundericher Marienburg – and is also rapidly demonstrating that he is simply one of the collective Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer’s exceptional talents, not to mention stylistically free spirits!
We fell unashamedly in love with these wines a few years ago - and after a number of judicious Friday tastings of cellar stocks here at Wine Direct - we can happily report that they gain in stature with every swirl of the glass and every month in the cellar!
These are simply awesome dry Rieslings from the great 2015 vintage and are unparalleled in their scale, intensity and complexity of aroma. As top German wine writer Stephan Reinhardt at RobertParker.com states; "There have been many great 2015s produced at Clemens Busch....."
