The Carl Loewen Leiwener Laurentiuslay Alte Reben Riesling 2022 is a white Riesling wine, made from very old vines, some up to 100 years old, from a core parcel of the Laurentiuslay that never went through Flurbereinigung (land consolidation). James Suckling rated it 94 points, praising its wonderful nose of white peach, lemon zest, and fresh mint. He described it as very bright and zesty with impressive energy, an extremely refreshing wine that tastes barely off-dry, with exciting purity and precision at the vibrant finish. Vinous also gave it 92 points. Jancis Robinson noted it as firm and pungent, with intense character for its price. Another critic highlighted its fragrant and subtle aromas of Amalfi lemon and lemon balm, plus tremendous racy brilliance, with great concentration and power packed into a very sleek silhouette. This is considered a truly exceptional, vivid, and energetic wine for the vintage with enormous aging potential. 【Radical masterpiece with impressive energy and aging potential from old vines】. 🍴 This Riesling is suggested to pair with root vegetables and squashes.
