Carl Loewen Alte Reben Riesling '22 0.75L

At the Loewen winery they grow vines that reach an almost biblical age. The roots go deep into the soil, so even in dry summers the small but golden yellow grapes reach a good level of ripeness. For Riesling "Alte Reben" the grapes are harvested from vines at least 50 years old. The yield of these vineyards is small, but the ripening of the grapes is excellent. The spontaneous fermentation that follows the harvest takes place over a period of 100 days and only a few days before bottling the yeast is removed.

The result is a wine that shows the full spectrum of Riesling aromas along with a wonderful richness and the elegance of a prima ballerina. Full and complex nose of stone fruit, quince, orange and lemon with some floral notes. Herbal and spicy. Juicy, expressive and well-structured with a long mineral aftertaste.

The tradition of the winery dates back to the year 1803. Their ancestors bought vines in Maximiner Klosterlay during the time of secularization under Napoleon. To this day the winery has its roots in these vineyards. In 2008 they bought the Carl Schmitt-Wagner winery and with it a real oenological cultural monument.

His vineyard at Maximin Herrenberg was planted in 1896 with ungrafted vines and still remains in its original form. This makes it one of the oldest Riesling vineyards in the world. In a high-quality terroir and with old vines is where the grapes ripen. Loewen tries to make these natural treasures flourish in the winery with only minimal intervention. Their philosophy is oriented towards traditional winemaking, which they interpret in a modern way.
