This comes from the steepest, stoniest corner of the Maximin Herrenberg, and that's exactly why Christopher Loewen bottles it as his Grosses Gewächs. In his words, the extra slope and stone give the wine more complexity and power than the rest of the hill. The Herrenberg sits on Devonian-era red slate in Longuich, and its vines are own-rooted Riesling that predates phylloxera. Christopher counts even the neighbouring parcels on the same hill, at about a century old, as the young ones. The vineyard's history adds to the appeal. It was sold in the 1803 auction of the Maximin order's holdings and stayed with the Schmitt family for six generations. It reached Karl-Josef Loewen only after the 2013 harvest, because Bruno Schmitt had no heirs. Christopher has since taken over from his father and farms on practicing-organic lines. Grosses Gewächs is Germany's dry top-site category, so this is the Loewens' most serious dry wine from their most storied vineyard. If you already love the 1896 Alte Reben, this is its steeper, stonier sibling.

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.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Pan-roasted trout with brown butter and almonds; roast pork loin with apples and sage; choucroute garnie; seared scallops; aged Comté or Gruyère.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic profile of dry Mosel Riesling from red slate: lime, white peach and green apple, with a smoky, stony minerality and a salty edge. Old vines and the steep, stony site typically add concentration and grip, while bright, racy acidity keeps it taut through a long, dry, mineral finish. Built to age, as top dry Riesling usually is.

WINE GUIDES

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!
