A small family owned winery in Pünderich situated in the middle part of the Mosel. Riesling is the most important variety here, as the slate slopes give the perfect growing conditions. The best vineyards are located in the “Erste Lage” (first site) and “Pündericher Marienburg”, a steep slope just across the river from the village Pünderich. As the soil varies between blue, grey and red slate, many wines of different styles and unique characters are grown here. Organic and bio-dynamic winegrowing has always been one of Clemens Busch’s main beliefs to achieve fine quality wine and sustainability.
