Maximin Herrenberg, 1896, Riesling, Alte Reben, Trocken, 2024

Herrenberg is more concentrated, exuding grapefruit, peach and shells. It carries a certain feeling of sunlight despite its cool finish with a totally different minerality to that of Laurentiuslay. Here, the wines are herbal, aromatic and have more structure compared to the leaner saltiness of the blue slate sites. The village of Longuich is situated on red slate soils in the direction of Trier. The Trocken comes from ungrafted vines planted in 1896 in the central part of the vineyard.
