Very spicy, just as the name of this vineyard site promises. Terrific tension and complexity on the medium-bodied palate. For this amount of power it’s remarkable how cool the wine remains. Very long, complete finish. Drink from release.

The 2024 Ürziger Würzgarten GG Alte Reben is a subtle, playful Riesling that captivates with its delicate, elegant nose, clear fruit and fine savoriness. Very salty and delicate on the palate, with juicy fruit and crystal-clear acidity, this is possibly Loosen's finest grand cru of the vintage. Tasted as a sample at the Vorpremiere VDP.Grosses Gewächs in Wiesbaden, August 2025.(SR)

The 2024 Riesling Ürziger Würzgarten Alte Reben Grosses Gewächs comes with a mere flicker of deadnettle on the nose, followed by a slight creaminess. Lemon and tangerine are juicy and salty on the palate and lend great concentration on a smoothly textured, compact wine. There is much extract and lovely poise here. (Dry)(AK)

A richer, riper version than others, this shows succulent (not laser-sharp) acidity that powers a dense mix of lilac, persimmon and yellow apple. Dry spice and mineral notes move in for a focused, salty profile. Best from 2027 through 2038.

Notes

93-95pts Fallstaff Magazine: "Floral notes, herbs and spices, lilac, bay leaf, mint, unripe nuts, also peach and bergamot. Bright, crystal-clear fruit on the palate, a zesty acidity, very lively, with a delicate texture, fruit on the finish, good length.-Ulrich Sautter"(12/2025) 92pts Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 54 25. The 2024 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Alte Reben, as it is referred to on the front label (the reference to GG is found on the back label and on the bottle itself), comes from parcels of very old un-grafted vines in the prime Urglück, Maxberg, and Layenhaus sectors, and was fermented with ambient yeasts and aged in oak for almost 12 months. It delivers a quite aromatic, intense, and appealing nose of tangerine, white mint, smoke, herbal tea, lime tree, thyme, flintstone, and grapefruit. The wine coats the palate with aromatic presence, but also directly some lively acidity running through the palate and giving quite some tension and a bone-dry feel to the intense finish. There is some tartness in need of integration before true greatness. This aromatic, complex, and racy expression of dry Riesling is superb. 2030-2044."(01/2026)
