Planted in 1896 on their own roots, these ungrafted vines sit on steep, slate-covered slopes near Longuich, and the wine they produce is pure, linear, and profoundly expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage brings crystalline precision: lime zest, green apple, crushed slate, and a flicker of wild herbs, with racy acidity and a firm mineral backbone. But what sets this apart is the texture—deep, tactile, and slightly smoky, the kind of mouthfeel only truly old vines (and meticulous winemaking) can deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLoewen ferments with native yeasts in old foudres, with long lees contact and no manipulation—a style that feels traditional but alive, giving the wine both tension and soul. It’s dry, but not bone-rattling; elegant, but with an edge. A Riesling that drinks like it knows where it comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrink it young for its snap and verve, or cellar for a decade to watch it stretch into something even more layered and savory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skurnik [MSK]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44242398740537,"sku":"NYC-1-MSK-`DE-LOW-14-23`-012325-3","price":105.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Carl-Loewen-Riesling-1896-Grey-Label-2023-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York_69c25fb5.jpg?v=1775832012","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/carl-loewen-riesling-1896-2023-750ml","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
