The Riesling Alte Reben 2023 from Julius Treis is an impressive white wine from Germany’s renowned Mosel region, showcasing the power and elegance of this classic grape variety with remarkable clarity. The term “Alte Reben” (old vines) indicates that the wine comes from very old Riesling vineyards, often 40–60 years old or more, with deep roots anchored in slate terraces—an essential factor for concentration, minerality and complexity. The Mosel’s slate soils and steep hillside vineyards play a key role in shaping the wine’s distinctive freshness and mineral precision.
In the glass, Riesling Alte Reben displays a bright straw-yellow colour with green highlights. On the nose, it offers a layered bouquet of ripe citrus fruit, crisp green apple and floral nuances, threaded through with a fine, saline minerality typical of Mosel slate. On the palate, the wine stands out for its vibrant structure: its pronounced acidity brings lift and freshness, ripe fruit adds breadth, and the mineral core delivers impressive depth and length.
Riesling is widely regarded as one of Germany’s most important white grape varieties, and in the Mosel it remains a benchmark for quality. It is known for its delicate aromatics, lively acidity and exceptional ability to express terroir—qualities that are especially evident in the Riesling Alte Reben 2023. Old vines naturally produce lower yields, more concentrated flavours and an authentic, multi-layered reflection of origin.
