Carl Loewen Riesling Alte Reben Trocken - 2021 (750ml)

Made from a selection of plots aged between 50-80 years old.  This is dry, powerful, rich Riesling with the capacity to please the palate today and to age gracefully for years.

Full and complex nose of stone fruits and tangerine with some floral notes. Juicy and well-structured. For a non-single vineyard wine of the 2021 vintage this is so generous and expressive. Long finish with so much mineral freshness. From up to 70 year old vines. Vegan. Drink or hold.

AP: 07 22. The 2021er Riesling Alte Reben is a just off-dry wine (9.7 g/l of residual sugar) made from very old vines planted between 1949 and 1962, mostly situated in the Leiwener Klostergarten and for a tiny part in the Detzemer Würzgarten, and was partially fermented in old Fuder. It offers a classy, refreshing, and elegant nose of candied lime, fine herbs, smoke, white minerals, pepper, and ginger. The wine has superb complexity and presence on the palate, where it is still slightly compact. A fine creamy side gives way to great focus in the long, spicy, and salty finish. This is a beautiful dry-tasting Riesling! 2023-2031+ (09/2022)
