THE COMPANY

As with all great wines, the secret of Riesling’s character lies in the terroir: in the creative synthesis of soil, vines, microclimate and the sensitivity of the winemaker. Riesling is, in fact, more capable than any other variety of expressing the mineral nuances of the rocks in the glass, transforming them into elegance, tension and depth. For decades, Reinhard Löwenstein was one of the most authoritative interpreters of this philosophy, helping to define a new Moselle style together with his wife Cornelia. Today, the management of the domaine has passed to Thomas Dörr, who continues this journey with continuity and vision, keeping intact the principles that have made the winery a benchmark in the region: precision, respect for the vineyard and extreme enhancement of slate, the absolute matrix of the landscape and the aromatic profile of the wines. The winery’s labels combine the aromatic concentration of fruit with complex mineral components, with a predominance of “dry” vinifications that enhance tension and expressive purity. In the first three to five years, the sharp notes of slate dominate, while with evolution, depth, salty nuances and an increasingly incisive and eccentric character emerge. Alongside the “dry” Rieslings, the true stylistic hallmark of the estate, the Blanc de Noirs also stands out for its structure and personality, consolidating the domaine’s role among the most influential protagonists of the contemporary Moselle, with a broad and coherent vision of German oenology.
