The 2022 Riesling Longuicher Maximin Herrenberg 1896 Alte Reben is from a 0.8-hectare parcel of own-rooted vines planted in 1896 on red slate. This is seen as the treasure of the estate. An almost creamy note accompanies the savory apple and peach on the nose. The palate continues with a most enticing creaminess, seeming to soak up all the spice, boldness and concentration and render it into much elegance. This is helped along with slight nuttiness from well-situated newer oak. This is dryer than its siblings at 5.4g/L of sweetness and is a bundled pack of energy, bold but refined. The finish is of lemony nuttiness. (Dry)
