✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Erdener Prälat is widely regarded as one of the greatest vineyards in the Mosel valley, a tiny, sun-drenched site blessed with an ideal south-southwest exposure and surrounded by towering, heat-retaining red slate cliffs. Dr. Loosen's 'GG Alte Reben' (Grosses Gewächs Old Vines) is sourced from ungrafted Riesling vines that are over a century old. This exceptional terroir, combined with the ancient rootstocks, yields a dry Riesling of unparalleled concentration and complexity. Historically, this prized parcel was associated with the church, hence the name 'Prälat' (Prelate). Ernst Loosen crafts this masterpiece using traditional winemaking techniques, including spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in large, neutral oak Fuder casks, followed by extended maturation on the lees. The result is a powerful, dry white wine defined by rich stone fruit aromas, exotic spices, and a profound, fiery red-slate minerality.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Den historiske vingård Dr. Loosen har været i Loosen-familiens eje i over 200 år og ligger idyllisk på de dramatiske, skiferklædte skråninger i Bernkastel-Kues i Mittelmosel. Da Ernst Loosen overtog ansvaret i 1988, indledte han en markant revitalisering af vinhuset med et kompromisløst fokus på lave høstudbytter, omhyggelig pleje i vinmarkerne og minimal intervention i kælderen. Ejendommen råder over usædvanligt gamle, uhegnede Riesling-stokke på legendariske Grosse Lage-marker som Erdener Prälat, Wehlener Sonnenuhr og Bernkasteler Lay. Dr. Loosen nyder verdensomspændende anerkendelse for sine rene, udtryksfulde og lagringsværdige Riesling-vine, der spænder fra spændstige, tørre aftapninger til overdådigt komplekse og mineralske Prädikat- og dessertvine.
