Leiwener Laurentiuslay:
Portions of the Laurentiuslay vineyard are quite rocky, with its 40 to 80 percent slope rises in some places over the Mosel and is visible from far away, the Mosel downhill. Therefore, the vines are unshaded and benefit in their south-southwest orientation almost all day long from intense sunlight – the climate is hot but still well ventilated by the open position of the GL. The gray Devon Schiefer also stores the heat throughout the day and gives it to the vines at night.

"A radical 2022 masterpiece! Fragrant and subtle this has wonderful Amalfi lemon and lemon balm aromas plus tremendous racy brilliance. Great concentration and power are packed into a very sleek silhouette. This is a truly exceptional vivid and energetic wine for the vintage that surely has enormous aging potential. From up to 100-year-old vines. Vegan. Drinkable now, but best from 2025."

"I love the very deep and cool peachy aromas of this extremely classic dry Mosel riesling. Very sleek and focused in spite of the excellent ripeness, this is as poised as a prima ballerina. Very long, focused, almost steely finish that's so polished. Vegan. Drink or hold."

"The 2023 Riesling Leiwener Laurentiuslay Alte Reben trocken offers a touch of smokiness on creamy red apple peel. The smooth, creamy palate is edged with phenolics and a salty, pleasantly bitter pithiness that frames the luminous citrus tone at the core. Long, energetic and bold with a super-tangy finish."

"Bright and immediately cool—think of a sunny, outdoor jazz festival on a late summer day—this has the juicy freshness of a crisp cider apple, along with its frisky acidity. The savor and depth of flavor lasts, along with a scent of flowering herbs. This rocky site faces south-southwest, the vines clinging to grey slate on a 40- to 80-percent slope."
