✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Dr. Loosen estate has been in the same family for over 200 years, cultivating vines on the steep, dramatic slopes of the Mosel Valley. The Graacher Riesling is a village-level wine that beautifully captures the unique terroir of Graach, a historic winemaking village situated between Bernkastel and Wehlen. The vineyards here are characterized by steep gradients and a dominant soil profile of weathered blue Devonian slate. This slate is crucial; it absorbs the sun's heat during the day and radiates it back to the vines at night, while forcing the roots deep into the earth for water and nutrients. Crafted from 100% Riesling, the wine is typically fermented with native yeasts in traditional, large oak casks (Fuder) to enhance its texture and complexity. The result is a vibrant, mineral-driven white wine that balances electric acidity with notes of white peach, green apple, and a distinct, stony minerality characteristic of Graach's prized slopes.
🍾 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.
