RED: The Clemens Busch Riesling Vom Roten Schiefer 2022 hails from two single vineyards that grow in red slate soils, the rarest of the three slates. It’s ‘beautifully spicy’ (Vinous) with flavours of orange blossom, fern, grapefruit and pepper.
GREY: Moving to a wine that’s leaner in nature, the Clemens Busch Riesling Vom Grauen Schiefer 2022 provides a linear palate with pronounced lemon and apricot peel, and a salty tang that makes it ‘very moreish’ (Vinous).
BLUE: The Clemens Busch Riesling Vom Blauen Schiefer 2022 comes from the blue slate soils of the famed Fahrlay single-vineyard. It features lingering flavours of peach, kumquat and ginger preserve complemented by a smoky minerality.
The Busch estate consistently prioritises quality over expansion, with aims to maintain their 18 hectares in Pünderich, Mosel. Their Rieslings possess vibrant acidity perfectly balanced by small amounts of residual sugar, resulting in wines that are electric, complex and food friendly.
