It is simply stunning what great and unique wines the young winemaker Roman Niewodniczanski has released since he took over the winery in 2000.

Notes of tangerine peel and blossoms. After the first sip I have the feeling that the Saar Riesling Alte Reben 2006 is more slim than in previous vintages. Still the flavors of dried fruits or very matured apples with cinnamon, but not combined with such an opulent and creamy texture anymore. Again this fine minerality as a backbone and a lot of floral layers. In addition a very subtle, delicate or "feingliedrige" stilistic for what the Mosel wines are famous for. It will be interesting to follow the development of this wine in the coming years. Keep your eyes also open for his TOP-wines "Kanzemer Altenberg" Alte Reben and "Wiltinger Gottesfuß" Alte Reben.
