"The 2024 Riesling Longuicher Maximin Herrenberg 1896 Alte Reben is from own-rooted vines that were 128 years old, grown on red slate. Tansy shimmers with exquisite savoriness, like herb crushed on stone. The palate is a juicy marvel, an absolutely fluid, bright and vivid joy that sprays with the freshness of tart red apple and citrus. It is glorious and wonderful. Like an elixir, the 2024 is totally serious. It is a monument but simply delicious, too." —Anne Krebiehl MW

"Pretty scents of chamomile, yellow apple, lime zest and mangosteen lead the way, while slivered radish, cardamom and river stone offer spice and cooling mineral notes. Delicate yet complex, this Riesling confidently glides through the long, polished finish. Drink now through 2038."

More about Carl Loewen

The Loewen estate has been around since 1803 and boasts some extremely important grand crus sites with some very, very old vines. Of all the underrated estates in the Mosel, it is perplexing that Loewen has stayed under the radar for so long. The wines are pure magic – viscerally expressing the terroir of truly great crus, nurtured by attentive, sustainable vineyard care beyond most growers in the Mosel.
