Hailing from the steep, slate-rich slopes of Germany's Mosel valley, Dr. Loosen's DR. LO Alcohol-Free Sparkling Riesling represents a brilliant marriage of historic winemaking heritage and modern innovation. Ernst Loosen, a champion of the region's traditional Riesling, crafted this expression to meet the demand for high-quality, non-alcoholic options without sacrificing the Mosel's signature terroir. Made from 100% Riesling grapes, the wine undergoes a gentle vacuum distillation process to remove the alcohol while preserving the delicate aromas of white peach, citrus, and the distinct mineral tension derived from the region's blue slate soils. The result is a refreshing, effervescent sparkling wine that captures the true essence of Mosel Riesling.
🍾 wine.about_producer
The historic Dr. Loosen estate, located in Bernkastel-Kues in the Mosel region of Germany, has been in the same family for over two centuries. Since taking ownership in 1988, Ernst Loosen has propelled the winery to international acclaim by focusing on the estate's extraordinary heritage of ungrafted, old Riesling vines—some over 120 years old—situated in historic grand cru sites such as Erdener Pr$lat, $rziger W$rzgarten, and Bernkasteler Lay. The winery's philosophy centers on minimalist winemaking and a deep respect for the region's diverse slate soils, which yield intensely mineral-driven, expressive wines. Dr. Loosen is globally renowned for its precise, elegant Rieslings, spanning from dry (Trocken) styles to exquisitely concentrated sweet expressions like Auslese, Beerenauslese, and rare Eisweins.
