This is an unusual entry-level wine. The cool side of the peach notes makes itself very clearly felt, pulling you into a web of intense, slatey minerality. Very stony finish, although the acidity is moderate. Excellent aging potential. From vines up to 70 years old. Vegan. Drink or hold.

Aromas of lime preserves and dried apple rest on a foundation of sorghum and chrysanthemum in this solidly built Riesling. The palate is dense yet graceful as this elegantly coasts through the long finish, which deftly interlaces its savory and stone notes with bright fruit. Drink now through 2038. 60 cases imported.
Product Description:
"“Alte Reben” = meaning “old vines” in German. At our estate, we cultivate vineyards whose vines are of an almost biblical age. These 50 to 60-year-old vines display remarkable vitality — their roots have firmly anchored themselves deep in the earth. At the same time, the stormy growth of youth has given way to the calm of age: the grapes remain small and ripen slowly into autumn."-Winery
