Riesling 'Alte Reben' Trocken

Score

94

"An excellent introduction to high-end dry Mosel riesling. This has stacks of slate character, with white peaches and crisp pear fruit. Medium-bodied with notes of white flowers, baking spices and rose hips. Long, structured finish with a stony intensity, but almost no sense of weight. From up to 70-year-old vines. Vegan. Drink or hold."

"The 2023 Riesling Alte Reben, picked in the Longuicher Herrenberg and Leiwener Klostergarten from vines 50 and 70 years old, respectively, offers a lovely reduction that crackles with flint on the nose, opening into creamy peach. The concentrated palate has the estate-typical fill with a vivid zestiness that elongates and guides it forward despite its undoubted generosity. Long fresh and lasting."

"Deep stone fruit and wild herb aromas with a fascinating hint of smokiness from the lees. Impressive power plus excellent vitality and precision for the 2022 vintage. Stunning slatey minerality at the very long and complete finish. From 70-year-old vines, yet almost 50,000 bottles of this wine were produced! Vegan. Drink or hold."
