Carl Loewen Maximin Herrenberg 1896 0.75L

Winemaker Carl SchmittWagner decided to replant his best vineyard. He painstakingly selected only the best Rieslingvines for the focus of his renowned winery. In the year 1896 he planted Maximin Herrenberg with ungrafted Rieslingvines with 10,000 vines per hectare. A few years ago this very vineyard was ranked by the Prussian tax authority among the best sites along the Mosel. Today this vineyard still stands on its original site from 1896. This makes it probably the oldest vineyard in the world with ungrafted Rieslingvines of this size.

Maximin Herrenberg has a southern exposure of red slate. This very rare terroir gives the wines a unique structure. Coming straight from the Mosel River is the Maximin Herrenberg Riesling Alte Reben Trocken 1896. Clean, cool and spicy on the nose. Orange, kumquat and fennel stand out. In the mouth, it is rich, ripe, intense, excitingly clean, pure, salty, tasty and balanced. A Riesling with great elegance and finesse.

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.
