Estate Riesling

Estate Riesling

Variety: Riesling • Region: Mosel • Vineyard: Leiwener Klostergarten – 50-70 year old vines • Soil Type: Slate • Fermentation & Élevage: Natural fermentation in stainless steel

This is an estate wine, all from the Leiwener Klostergarten. Some of you will remember this wine when it was a Kabinett. This is now “declassified” as single vineyard labeled wines should denote the highest quality at the estate as well as individuality, so Christopher agreed to declassify the site and just call it “Estate Riesling”. Soils here are a bit richer than the steep sites and the vine material is not nearly as old. Fruit is picked and pressed whole cluster before sedimentation. The juice is racked into Fuder and Stainless steel where it ferments completely with native yeast and without temperature control. Fermentation is stopped by taste and a small addition of SO2 is added to stabilize the wine.

"This barely off-dry Mosel riesling is juicy and elegant, with remarkable substance for an entry-level wine. The fine tannins deftly support the medium-bodied palate. Long, compact finish that™s beautifully balanced. Vegan. Drink now. Screw cap."

"The 2024 Riesling Quant, this year was harvested in the Thörnicher Schiesslay and supplemented by Leiwener Klostergarten, all from their own massal selection. It opens with herbal subtlety. Fresh hay, yarrow and crushed St John's Wort aromas unite on the nose. The palate is smooth and buffered. All is ripe, somehow serene and concentrated with a gentle juiciness. It is slender, yet with quite an impact for an estate wine. Bravo. Dry"

"Subtle aromas of apple seed, dried melon and persimmon are neatly intertwined with geranium and aloe. Shows Mosel delicacy, with an upright backbone, featuring mineral and spice flavors that tighten up attractively. There™s a tug of fruit skin bitterness on the palate. Drink now through 2038."K.B."

"A blend of fruit from Loewen™s parcels in Thörnich and Leiwen, this dry riesling has a mineral abrasion to its acidity, integrated and still tense. That acidity is stony, driving the fruit forward, targeting its clean, refreshing flavor at pan-roasted river fish."
