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 Devoschiefer 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."
