About the wine
This classy Riesling will return you to the golden age of the Mosel
Christopher and Karl-Josef own some of the oldest Riesling vines in the world - their oldest dating all the way back to the 19th century. Back then Mosel wines were the most prestigious white wines in the world, and the Loewens have made it their mission to bring the region back into the spotlight.
Farming steep, old vineyards using historic 19th century winemaking techniques means 100% dedication from Christopher and Karl-Josef - no tractors, no machines, everything must be done by hand. There's no length that these two won’t go to to bring you the most authentic Mosel Riesling possible.
This is a wine that just goes on and on and on with an enormously refined long finish. And thank goodness for that - the combination of super ripe stone fruits and glorious minerality is made to be relished. One glass just ain't enough.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Christopher and Karl-Josef Loewen
-
With their passion for pure, elegant Riesling and dedication to natural winemaking methods that let the fruit do the talking - this father and son pair are making some of the most in-demand wines in the entire Mosel. And the best bit? They just became your star German signings.
-
The Loewen’s steep, sloping vineyards encompass some of the very best sites in the entire Mosel, including an astonishing set of 1896-planted vines - ‘the oldest Riesling vines in the world’ says Christopher - that were so highly-revered even then, that the Russian Tsar bought exclusive rights to the wine that was made there.
-
Working on those steep slopes in the Mosel Valley has its challenges. Mainly, a lot of hard working hours in the vineyards, picking every single grape by hand. But for Christopher - who now runs the show - and Karl-Josef, it’s all worth it to make a truly special wine for people like you to enjoy.

I can recommend the whole Loewen Riesling range Megan. For me, they do get better and better as you move up the price range.
Enjoy your wines. 👍

Your profile isn't set to "public" so I can't see which wines that you tend to go for Peter and Carla - however I can recommend giving Christopher and Karl-Josef a "follow" and trying their range of Rieslings:-

A really lovely riesling
A lovely riesling. It is not too dry, has a very slight petrol nose (which I like, by the way) and has a rhubarb like flavour. Oh, I do love riesling. Lovely.
