✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Winninger Uhlen Roth Lay Riesling Reserve represents the pinnacle of Heymann-Löwenstein's terroir-driven philosophy. The Uhlen vineyard is a spectacular, amphitheater-like cliff in the Lower Mosel, divided into distinct geological sub-parcels. Among these, 'Roth Lay' is legendary for its intensely red, iron-rich slate soil, which imparts a unique, smoky minerality and deep structure to the wine. The 'Reserve' designation indicates an extraordinary winemaking process: while the standard GG is bottled after a year, the Reserve undergoes extended aging on its fine lees in traditional large oak Fuder casks, often for two to three years or more. This prolonged contact with the yeast softens the Mosel's searing acidity, adding a rich, creamy texture, profound depth, and complex savory notes of petrol, dried stone fruits, and crushed flint. It is a monument to the extreme viticulture of the Terrassenmosel, where vines cling to near-vertical slate walls that have been cultivated since Roman times.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Weingut Heymann-Löwenstein blev grundlagt i 1980 af Reinhard Löwenstein og Cornelia Heymann-Löwenstein og ligger i Winningen i Tysklands dramatiske, stejle Terrassenmosel. Vinhuset er anerkendt som en banebrydende pioner inden for terroirpræget, tør Mosel-Riesling og arbejder ud fra en filosofi om minimal indgriben i kælderen, spontangæring med vildgær samt omhyggelig økologisk dyrkning på de ekstreme skiferterrasser. Gennem arbejdet på berømte Grand Cru-marker som Winninger Röttgen og den geologisk komplekse Winninger Uhlen skaber vinhuset vine, der er et dybtfølt spejl af deres unikke skiferjordbunde. Deres anmelderroste portefølje spænder fra dybe, mineralrige tørre Grosses Gewächs-Rieslinger til intenst nuancerede, botrytiserede dessertvine med et enestående lagringspotentiale.
