Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Löwenstein's intensely yellow colored 2022 Uhlen Roth Lay GG today shows an open nose that is slightly oaky and reminiscent of overripe bananas but also slate. It is creamy and sweetish on the palate but rather bitter on the finish and, therefore, structurally rather short acting. No energy and heavy clothes. This is disappointing if representative. Tasted at the Vorpremiere VDP.Grosses Gewächs in Wiesbaden in August 2023.

Winemaking
Description
Heymann-Löwenstein Uhlen R Roth Lay wine comes from the Uhlen terraces, whose mountain peak is the highest in the region and is known locally as Roth Lay. This mountain is described with passion, emerging from the slatey mist like a beautiful lady with red curls. Roth Lay is shrouded in an aura of mystery, with tropical red tones shimmering like primordial islands submerged in the sea. It is speculated that the iron-rich stones are the resultant meteorite impacted here.
Elaboration
This wine is vinified exclusively with wild yeasts in wooden barrels, without the addition of enzymes or fining agents. It matures at least until the summer of the year following the harvest on its lees. Uhlen Roth Lay wine is produced dry and bears the designation VDP.GROSSES GEWÄCHS. In notable years, Uhlen Roth Lay is home to the highly acclaimed sweet wines Auslese, Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese.
Taste
The taste of Heymann-Löwenstein Uhlen R Roth Lay is a combination of incredible mineral richness with subtle iron notes on the finish. It has been compared in structure to the fullest mature white Burgundy. Some critics have described it as "The Montrachet of the Mosel", noting its phenomenal terroir. It is a wine that, when you taste it, grips you with its intensity and complexity, like an unwavering siren of the Mosel that stares deeply at you until you are stranded.
