2019 Weingut Carl Loewen Riesling Maximin Herrenberg G.G. 0,75 Liter

Weingut Carl Loewen Riesling Maximin Herrenberg G.G. 2019, from Germany’s Mosel, is a 100% Riesling from the Maximin Herrenberg vineyard’s red slate soils, planted in 1896. The nose reveals a complex bouquet of cassis, yellow fruit, and white peach, layered with smoky minerality and flint. The palate is full-bodied, bone-dry with vibrant acidity, delivering flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and spice, with a refined, lingering finish. Fermented spontaneously and aged in neutral oak, it reflects Carl Loewen’s modern take on traditional winemaking. The 2019 vintage, praised for its concentration, produced a wine of extraordinary depth, ideal for pairing with robust fish dishes or aged cheeses. Its intense minerality and structured elegance make it a collector’s treasure, capturing the essence of Maximin Herrenberg’s rare terroir. With exceptional aging potential, this Grosses Gewächs offers enthusiasts a profound expression of Mosel’s winemaking heritage.
