Planted in 1902, the Longuicher Herrenberg vineyard is a higher section of ungrafted vines, grown on devonian slate soils with volcanic inclusions which make the soil appear red. According to the producer, there is typically a cold wind at this site, due to which ripening progresses more slowly, the amplitude between day and night is much higher which allow for perfect conditions for a light, crisp and pure Kabinett. The wine is fermented spontaneously in old 1200-liter Mosel füder: shimmering platinum/yellow in color with vibrant and pristine almost electric Riesling aromas suggestive of lime flower and flesh of crisp green apple (Loewen themselves noted vineyard peach, mango and apricot); tantalizing interplay between a juicy richness of texture and an innervating, almost kiwi fruit-like acidity that causes some seriously delicious salivation; Henry noted that this is simply all that one hopes for when pulling the cork on a fine Mosel Riesling Kabinett.

This steep site of mica schist is probably Germany's most iconic and historic Pinot Noir site. While the nose is still closed, underneath a wealth of wonderfully pure, alluring and expressive fruit opens, just captured at the point where it's ripe but still has tension, focus and crunch - nothing is overdone. This is elegant and leaves a fine coat of tannins on the palate. Lovely structure combined with elegant unobtrusiveness. Drink 2022‑2032. Rated 94. - Anne Krebiehl, MW, decanter.com

Produce of predominantly Graacher, Wehlener and Bernkastel Riesling fruit blended to achieve a kind of quintessential middle-Mosel wine; delicate, fragrant, ripe Riesling aromas that suggest citrus flower, vanilla; ripe and just round at the edges, brilliantly balanced with bright acidity that charges the palate and keeps everything fresh and moving forward.

Dr. L comes exclusively from traditional Mosel vineyards, read steep slopes and slate soils, and serves well as an excellent introduction to the elegant and racy style that is classic Mosel Riesling. Vivid, fresh aromas suggest clean slate and stone fruits like peach and apricot; bright and fresh on the tongue with lively interplay between intensity of delicate ripe fruit and a bright fresh acidity that keeps things bouncing along crisp and clean, juicy and ultra-refreshing to the finish. Brilliant value, too!
