Carl Loewen, Riesling 1896, 2022
The '1896' label on this bottle isn't decorative — it refers to the year the vines on Maximin Herrenberg were planted. Christopher Loewen farms these ancient, ungrafted Riesling vines on a site above the Mosel that has been documented since the 10th century, and the age of the vines translates directly into the wine: deep, complex, and impossibly expressive for its ripeness level. Old-vine Riesling from the Mosel doesn't look like this very often — it has the concentration of a Spätlese but the tension of something much leaner. Carl Loewen is one of the Mosel's most important smaller estates, and this is their masterpiece.
