Carl Loewen Quant Riesling '23 0.75L

06ΚΡΑΚΑΡΛ07Α

In the Mosel dialect, the word Quant describes something that is simply good: for example a delicious dinner in a nice atmosphere or fun with friends. This spirit represents Riesling Quant. The grapes ripen until October, so they can fully develop before they are harvested. During this late harvest the weather is already cold. The must reaches the cellar at low temperatures. Spontaneous fermentation takes weeks at these temperatures. These wines retain a small and natural amount of sugar. In addition they have a wonderful harmony together with a dry taste impression.

The elegance of the wine is exciting and makes the enjoyment simply Quant. This wine perfectly reflects Loewen's winemaking philosophy. Elegant and ripe aromas of pear, lemon and fresh herbs make this a charming, rich and balanced semi-dry Riesling. All this is confirmed by comments from great critics such as Robert Parker, Jancis Robinson, James Suckling and Stuart Pigott.

Carl Loewen Ritsch GG '22 0.75L

06ΚΡΑΚΑΡΛ10

Only classified terroirs are allowed to be called Grosses Gewachs. Weingut Carl Loewen is proud to have estates that meet these high standards: Laurentiuslay, Ritsch and Maximin Herrenberg. Ritsch offers ideal conditions for Grosses Gewachs. The concentration of ripeness, mineral aromas and playful elegance is outstanding. Importantly, the wine retains the elegant character of Moselriesling despite the enormous concentration of aromas. Ritsch is harvested at the end of the harvest to ensure ideal ripening of the grapes. A surprisingly fresh wine that is impressively concentrated. Incredible minerality, metallicity and with a very long aftertaste. It has great aging potential!

Carl Loewen 1896 '22 Grey Label 0.75L

06ΚΡΑΚΑΡΛ09

Planted in 1896, Maximin Herrenberg is one of the oldest Riesling vineyards in the world. Fascinated by that time, they wondered at Carl Loewen's winery how the wines are made. They wanted to know if these centuries-old approaches were as good as today's modern techniques, or maybe even better! The hand picked grapes are transferred to the grape vats using the traditional "Hotte". Here the grapes are immediately pressed and thus the maceration process starts directly. For this purpose they procured an old basket-press that operated with the same techniques as in 1896. The result is a wine that shows the strengths of Riesling in a perfect way. It is a unique statement of consistency in our fast moving world. Stuart Pigott awarded this wine 100 points for James Suckling. It has an extremely complex nose of lemon, exotic fruits and spicy aromas. Rich with nice acidity and very concentrated, the palate is creamy, slightly sweet and silky with a long mineral aftertaste.

Carl Loewen Maximin Herrenberg GG '22 0.75L

06ΚΡΑΚΑΡΛ05Α

Maximin Herrenberg's sharpest point is the origin of Carl Loewen's Grosses Gewachs. In this parcel the shale is harder and poorer. Extreme conditions for man and the vine. The iron content of the shale is so high, it makes the shale red. In 1902 this part of Maximin Herrenberg was planted. These very old authoritarian vines still stand today and give great potential to this complex wine. Maximin Herrenberg GG always offers extremely intense ripe fruit, like ripe pears. Also, aromas of wild herbs combine with the mouth which is salty with aromas of stone fruit and slate.

Carl Loewen Pinot Blanc '22 0.75L

06ΚΡΑΚΑΡΛ06

A few years ago, the Loewen winery acquired a vineyard in Leiwener Klostergarten which offers an ideal terroir for Pinot Blanc. It has a southwest exposure and the soil consists of deep gray shale. Even in drier periods, this terroir can save enough water.

After a late harvest the Pinot Blanc matures in Moseltypical wood barrels, the so-called Fuder. These barrels give the aroma of the wine a note of new wood. The fermentation lasts three months while it is done with the "sur lie" technique until shortly before bottling. Pinot Blanc shows the typical ease and elegance of the Mosel. The bouquet is defined by the minerality of the slate terroir and the green bean, lemon, pear and quince aromas of the Pinot Blanc. The fruit and elegance of the wine enchant with the power and richness in the background.
