Producer Information: Weingut Carl Loewen
Weingut Carl Loewen, rooted in the Mosel region of Germany, traces its origins to 1803 when the family acquired vineyards during the secularization of church lands. The estate is celebrated for its dedication to traditional winemaking methods, particularly spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar. Their philosophy centers on expressing the unique terroir of steep slate slopes along the Mosel River, especially through old-vine Riesling from historic parcels like Maximin Herrenberg. Beyond their flagship dry and off-dry Rieslings, Carl Loewen also crafts elegant Pinot Blancs and limited-edition sparkling wines that reflect the cool climate and mineral-rich soils of Leiwen.

Riesling is a versatile white grape variety known for producing wines that range from sweet to dry, characterized by their high acidity and vibrant fruitiness. This aromatic wine often features flavors of green apple, peach, and apricot, complemented by floral notes of jasmine and hints of honey. Aged Rieslings may also exhibit a distinctive petrol aroma, adding complexity to the tasting experience.
Originating primarily from regions such as Germany’s Mosel and Rheingau, as well as Alsace in France and parts of Australia like Clare Valley, Riesling can be crafted using various vinification techniques. Stainless steel fermentation preserves its freshness while oak aging can enhance its richness. Food pairings for Riesling are diverse; it complements spicy Asian dishes, seafood like shellfish, pork dishes, and fruit-based desserts beautifully. For optimal enjoyment, serve chilled at 45-50°F (7-10°C) in a standard white wine glass.
