Description
The 2016 Riesling Alte Reben is clear, deep, fresh and flinty on the bright and elegant nose. Filigreed and piquant on the palate, this is a crystalline, clear and elegant Riesling from old vines. Its finish is very salty and reflects the pure slate soils of the steep vineyards in the Mosel Valley. The wine tastes bone dry and weighs in at 11.5% alcohol. Drink 2024-2036

The 2017 Riesling Alte Reben (Mosel) is a bright and intensely scented dry Riesling with refreshing lemon and crushed slate aromas. On the palate, this is a highly finessed and elegant dry Riesling from up to 100-year-old vines from top vineyards between Kinheim and Bernkastel. This silky-textured Riesling is even finer and purer than the Saar Alte Reben and exhibits more crystalline slate acidity and structure. The finish is enormously long and salty. This Alte Reben is perhaps more sophisticated and Nordic in taste, whereas the Saar is concentrated, lush and more on the sweet side. Drink 2022-2040
