2020 Weingut Carl Loewen Riesling Laurentiuslay Alte Reben Trocken 0,75 Liter

Weingut Carl Loewen Riesling Laurentiuslay Alte Reben Trocken 2020, from Germany’s Mosel, is a 100% Riesling from the Laurentiuslay vineyard’s ungrafted, century-old vines on steep slate slopes. The bouquet offers expressive aromas of citrus, white flowers, and minerality, with notes of lime, peach, and wet stone. The palate is medium-bodied, bone-dry with vibrant acidity, delivering flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of flint, with a refined, lingering finish. Fermented spontaneously and aged in stainless steel, it embodies Carl Loewen’s minimalist philosophy, highlighting the terroir’s purity. The 2020 vintage, known for its balance and intensity, produced a wine of remarkable finesse, ideal for pairing with seafood, poultry, or light salads. Its complex flavor profile and structured elegance make it a collector’s gem, capturing the essence of Laurentiuslay’s unique terroir. With excellent aging potential, this Riesling offers enthusiasts a sophisticated expression of Mosel’s slate-driven minerality and old-vine intensity.
