Weingut Carl Loewen in Leiwen, Mosel, represents a family tradition growing from one hectare (acquired 1803) to 18 hectares over three generations under current leadership Christopher Loewen (age 33) and father Karl-Josef. The estate's defining characteristic is its focus on very old vines: more than 50% of holdings are ungrafted vines aged 60-120 years on extremely steep slopes. The Maximin Herrenberg vineyard, planted 1896, still produces Riesling on original rootstock—a living museum of winemaking history. This 2024 'Alte Reben' (old vines) Erste Lage (First Growth) dry Riesling from the Laurentiuslay vineyard showcases old-vine intensity and mineral complexity. Christopher earned 'Winemaker of the Year' (2017) from Stuart Pigott at age 33. Ready now or age 8-12 years.

Antonio Galloni

AG 95

"The 2024 Riesling Leiwener Laurentiuslay Alte Reben is from one of the steepest sites in Leiwen, on gray slate. This was picked in the core of the site from ungrafted, single-stake vines that are now over 100 years old. Ripe Reine Claude plums come with overtones of hayflower and wet stone on the nose. The palate is flow, harmony and concentrated, stony, lemony suppleness. This flows with exquisite juiciness and wonderful elongation." -Anne Krebiehl MW

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
