Clevner Alte Reben
Gorgeous and flamboyant nose, melon, cantaloupe, pineapple, jellied fruits, amazingly, juicy and fresh but low acid. But so finessed and elegant. Really nice textured. Pit fruits. Such a unique wine.

Nov 29th, 2021I love this wine. Superb florals. Lilacs, violets, roses, spice, melon, so unique and distinctive. Spiced apricots. So complex. Palate a ripe, citrusy and complex. So juicy and fresh and incredibly mineral with an engaging bitterness and savory quality on the finish. Lovely texture and especially intriguing and deep structure. Love this. Long and balanced, with awesome freshness. Exhibit A on how to get freshness from a low acid grape. Bravo!

May 24th, 2020Very rich for laible. A bit petrolly. A tad spicy. Big fruit for laible. Great with a rich dish. The minerals are there but in the background. Bought from fass selections

1 person found it helpfulSep 7th, 2017@Delectable Wine - This is not a Riesling. Clevner is the grape varietal.
This Klevner- which I believe is a forefather of Gewurztraminer - is really good. This nose has some of that Gewurz-like lychee but underpinning it is a jagged base of crushed rocks. A bit of fresh hay and apricot pit too. Flavorful and oily-textured yet remarkably weightless. Pure and lively finish. Very nice!

Holy hell this is terrific. A bit of body here but the waft of a powerful nose and lingering and bracing acids are pleasurable. Absolutely enamored
