Full of peachy fruit with a flinty character giving it excellent tension, this succulent and well-structured medium-bodied wine is an excellent introduction to dry Mosel riesling. Long, simultaneously silky and stony finish. Drink or hold.

Varietal

Riesling

Riesling grapes have been grown in and around central Europe for centuries, and over time, they became the lasting symbol of south Germany's ancient and proud wine culture. Whilst the reputation of German wines abroad has in the past been mixed, the Germans themselves take an enormous amount of pride in their wineries, and Riesling grapes have now spread around the globe, growing anywhere with the correct climate in which they can thrive. Riesling grape varietals generally require much cooler climatic conditions than many other white grapes, and they are generally considered to be a very 'terroir expressive' varietal, meaning that the features and characteristics of the terroir they are grown on comes across in the flavors and aromas in the bottle. It is this important feature which has allowed Riesling wines to be elevated into the category of 'fine' white wines, as the features of the top quality bottles are generally considered to be highly unique and offer much to interest wine enthusiasts.

Country

Germany

As in many Old World countries, the rise of viticulture in Germany came about as a result of the Roman Empire, who saw the potential for vine cultivation in the vast flatlands around the base of the Rhine valley. Indeed, for over a thousand years, Germany's wine production levels were enormous, with much of the south of the country being used more or less exclusively for growing grapes. Over time, this diminished to make way for expanding cities and other types of industries, but Southern Germany remains very much an important wine region within Europe, with many beautifully balanced and flavorful German wines being prized by locals and international wine lovers alike. The hills around Baden-Baden and Mannheim are especially noteworthy, as these produce the high end of the characteristic semi-sweet white wines which couple so perfectly with German cheeses and pickled vegetables. However, all of Germany's wine producing regions have something special and unique to offer, and are a joy to explore and experience.

Region

Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

The Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region in western Germany is famous for producing some of the world’s finest Rieslings. Steep, slate-covered slopes along the Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer rivers reflect sunlight and retain heat, helping grapes ripen in a cool climate. This terroir yields aromatic, high-acid Rieslings with striking minerality, low alcohol, and a balance of sweetness and freshness. Styles range from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, often with exceptional aging potential. The region’s best wines come from terraced vineyards like Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Scharzhofberger, and Ürziger Würzgarten. Manual vineyard work is intense, but the payoff is elegance and precision in the glass. Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wines are transparent expressions of site and vintage. While mostly white, they offer incredible diversity in style and structure—making them essential for any wine lover exploring Germany’s classic regions.

Wine Advocate

Sourced from old vines in diverse top sites of the middle Mosel, the 2022 Riesling Alte Reben (White Capsule) opens with a dense and rich nose of super ripe and partly tropical fruits intermingled with oily notes of crushed slate and lemon rind. Silky, crystalline and tight on the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich, very intense, still edgy and youthful Riesling with crystalline and playful acidity as well as the typical slate finesse of the Mosel's top sites. The finish is remarkably long and complex yet also powerful. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024 from AP 24 23.

Wine Spectator

Shows classic Mosel Riesling character, with lemon-lime raciness cut with petrol, smoke and crushed slate. Firm and chiseled on the bone-dry palate, with savory details of dried herbs, celery seed, dried grasses and tea leaves, plus a blast of alpine herbs. Silky in feel, with a bitter quinine note on the finish, sewn up with chalk-fine mineral. Drink now through 2033. 2,500 cases made, 75 cases imported.

Winery Notes

Slightly reductive at first, this only gradually opens up to reveal ripe notes of fruits including yellow peach, apricot and strawberry. A touch of smoke and spices comes through with airing and adds depth to the nose. The wine is very delicate and superbly focused on the palate, where white flowers and herbs come through. It leaves a very long and zest infused feeling in the finish. This beautifully light and complex expression of dry Riesling only needs a few years of bottle aging to blend its elements and show its full potential.
