The Carl Loewen Maximin Klosterlay Riesling 2020 1er is a refined dry Riesling from Germany’s Mosel region, crafted by the Carl Loewen estate from the Maximin Klosterlay vineyard. This 2020 vintage displays a pale gold hue and a complex nose of ripe apricot, lemon zest, and white flowers, with hints of petrol and wet stone. The palate is crisp and structured, with vibrant acidity, a concentrated fruit core, and a long, mineral-driven finish with a touch of honeyed complexity. Fermented and aged in large German oak casks, this wine reflects the slate-rich terroir of Mosel. Perfect with seafood, spicy Asian dishes, or aged cheeses, it offers a sophisticated dining experience. With excellent aging potential, it will evolve over the next 7-10 years, developing richer, petrol-driven notes. This Riesling showcases Loewen’s mastery of crafting quality Mosel whites with elegance and depth, appealing to enthusiasts seeking a terroir-driven wine.
