Mission Codename Olden MM

We’ve been waiting for these for a long, long time!

Riesling! Mosel too, where it truly thrives. BONE DRY goodness with bracing acidity that instantly leaves you salivating for more. Big press, little money for all the Old Vine (is what Alte Reben means) quality, pristineness, purity, balance, intensity, and of course nobility no other grape can easily achieve.

“Absolutely world-class Rieslings and worth any effort to find at least some bottles of these stunning beauties” is what Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate claims and we could not agree more, which is why we jumped on every bottle they let us snatch for you. And us, we did stock up our own stashes, so it’s your turn, hopefully, we left you enough.

And on these Wine Advocate continues to rave “Here is another collection like no other from one of the world’s greatest winemakers. From the 2019 vintage, no less than 17 Molitor Rieslings earned 98-100 points… Four three-starred 2019 Riesling Auslese have again hit the perfect 100 RP score… So, which wine to choose out of so many if it isn’t one of the costly top scorers? I can’t take this decision off your hands, but I can guide you through the jungle and suggest wines that I consider to be outstanding in view of their price-pleasure ratio. Among the Rieslings, maybe the 2019 Alte Reben Mosel will prove its class. This Riesling is a sensation and a wine of the year, especially for the price.

“A lovely Riesling made from old vines that are 80-100 years old (old vine = alte reben), this bottle has depth and character. An off-dry style with a pale color, and aromas of honeysuckle, jasmine, lime, honey, and white chocolate, this wine is a delight to smell and a great one to have with slightly spicy food. The wine tastes as it smells and has the classic searing acidity of a Mosel Riesling, which means the slight touch of sugar to counteract and round out the sharpness is welcome and balances the wine perfectly. At 11.5% ABV, this isn’t a wine for full-on spicy food (the alcohol magnifies spice), but it is great with dishes that have a kick, from Thai to mild Chinese. Try it with Mexican food – it sang with fish tacos and spicy salsa when I had it!” - Elizabeth Schneider Wine for Normal People

94 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

*“The 2019 Alte Reben is sourced all along the middle Mosel between Bernkastel and Kinheim. It opens with a fascinating, pure, slatey and floral bouquet of crushed stones, blossoms and yellow fruits. Silky and crystalline on the pristine, immaculate palate, this is an intense, lush and piquant, very elegant and stimulating, fine and salty as well as slatey-tannic Mosel Riesling of great class and style. This is a fabulous Mosel Riesling that Riesling lovers should definitely buy to be absolutely amazed. Drink 2021-2040.”
