Winery Clemens Busch

Family-owned winery based in Pünderich. Clemens and Rita Busch reorganized the estate in the 1980s and refocused it on producing site-expressive Riesling. Over the years they progressively adopted organic methods and later biodynamic practices, with their son Johannes also involved in the winemaking.

The approach aims to express the soil and the vineyard: careful vineyard management, spontaneous fermentations, limited cellar interventions, and ageing in large neutral casks to preserve tension and purity.

The estate is based in Pünderich and operates mainly on the opposite riverbank in the extensive Pündericher Marienburg vineyard, a system of terraces on slate soils that characterizes the local wines.

The wines receive high ratings in guides and reviews: very high scores have been reported for some Marienburg cuvées.
