2020 Weingut Carl Loewen Riesling Ritsch G.G. 0,75 Liter

Weingut Carl Loewen Riesling Ritsch G.G. 2020, from Germany’s Mosel, is a 100% Riesling from the steep Thörnicher Ritsch vineyard, one of the region’s most dramatic slate slopes. The bouquet unveils a vibrant array of green apple, lime zest, and white peach, interwoven with wet slate and flinty minerality. The palate is medium-bodied, bone-dry with razor-sharp acidity, delivering flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and a pronounced mineral core, with a refined, lingering finish. Fermented spontaneously and aged in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak, it reflects Carl Loewen’s minimalist, terroir-driven philosophy. The 2020 vintage, celebrated for its balance and intensity, produced a wine of remarkable complexity, ideal for pairing with seafood, light salads, or creamy cheeses. Its concentrated fruit and mineral structure make it a collector’s treasure, showcasing Ritsch’s iconic terroir. With excellent aging potential, this Grosses Gewächs offers enthusiasts a sophisticated expression of Mosel’s steep-slope viticulture.
