  QbA 05-02 {cork, 12.5%, €10} A bottle we shlepped back from the winery four years ago and opened on my wife’s birthday, this is the winery’s entry effort, soured from vineyards across the lower Mosel around Winningen, where Lowenstein is based. Lemon, verging on gold in colour, yet still with a flash of green. The nose is quite aged, with aromas of flour and apple. The palate is barely off-dry, quite powerful – medium-bodied even. Developed Riesling fruits with just a touch of slate (all those terraces!), and a nice even palate, maintaining some presence right to the back palate. There’s still a little acid holding it together, but I wouldn’t hold it much longer, however good the reputation of the vintage.

  UltimoWineCentre - German wine dinner: The Löwenstein is an old friend now, having sampled it at the ‘cellar door’ back in April. It’s a dark mid-straw colour, and has a very developed nose. It’s quite weighty on the palate, despite the relative lightness of the flavours – a wine that seems to be carried by an almost greasy mouthfeel and distinct aldehydic qualities. Moderate length finish.
