2018 | Weingut Carl Loewen | Thornicher Ritsch Riesling Auslese

Super fine and fresh for an Auslese with dainty flavors of rose apples and rose water, colored by bright dried lemons and limes. The medium sweetness, though perceptible and deep, is hardly a factor in this wine, as it’s threaded surreptitiously through racy acidity and a bright, lemon-pith texture.

Producer Information

Weingut Carl Loewen is located near the town of Leiwen between Trier and Bernkastel. The vineyard's history goes back to 1803, when the family's ancestors bought vineyards in Maximiner Klosterlay. Today, the winery is owned by Karl Josef and his son Christopher Loewen. The production focuses on Riesling, which makes up approx. 95% of the winery's 15 ha of vineyards spread over the towns of Leiwen, Longuich, Detzem and Thörnich. More than 50% of the vineyards consist of ungrafted 60-120 year old Riesling vines. Only natural fertilizers are used in the vineyards and vinification takes place by natural spontaneous fermentation.
