Carl Loewen Riesling Longuich Herrenberg Kabinett 2023

"The Carl Loewen estate dates back to 1803 when an agent in Paris purchased a set of vineyards and buildings owned by the Maximin order. This sale was part of an auction used to generate money for the Napoleonic government after secularization. The purchase included the Maximiner Klosterlay, Maximin Grünhaus in the Ruwer, and Maximiner Herrenberg in Longuich. Interestingly, the purchase also included an administration building for the Maximin order that was sold to the Piedmont family in Filzen. Today, this is the family home and shares architectural details with the house at Grünhaus. The agent then split up the properties and sold them piece by piece to generate more money. It is for this reason that the Grünhaus today includes such large blocks in the Abtsberg – that property was sold to a single family, the vom Schubert’s. The Maximin Klosterlay was the first site acquired by the Loewen Family in 1805." -Supplier notes
