Tasting Notes:

An exclusive selection of small berries and loose clusters from our 40-year-old vines come together in the Alte Reben, a wine that is complex on the palate and in the bouquet. Alongside subtle floral aromas, an elegant spice caresses the tongue and builds to a long, lively finish. You might regard this as the little brother to our Großes Gewächs — and a favorite tip among insiders.
