Loewen Leiwener Laurentiuslay Riesling 'Alte Reben' Erste Lage Trocken

Variety: Riesling
Region: Mosel
Vineyard: Leiwener Laurentiuslay
Soil Type: Grey Slate
Fermentation & Élevage: Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel

Portions of the Laurentiuslay vineyard are quite rocky, with its 40 to 80 percent slope rises in some places over the Mosel and is visible from far away, the Mosel downhill. Therefore, the vines are unshaded and benefit in their south-southwest orientation almost all day long from intense sunlight – the climate is hot but still well ventilated by the open position of the GL. The gray Devoschiefer also stores the heat throughout the day and gives it to the vines at night.
