Clemens Busch crafts some of the Mosel's most compelling dry Rieslings from his biodynamically farmed vineyards. This 2020 comes from the region's famous red slate soils, which give these wines their distinctive mineral backbone and spicy edge that sets them apart from their blue slate cousins downstream. We love how Busch captures the essence of his terroir here: ripe stone fruit and wild strawberry flavours dance with wet-stone minerality, all held together by the crisp acidity that makes Mosel Riesling so food-friendly. At just 11% alcohol, it's got the elegance and precision that comes from perfect ripeness without excess.
