✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Dr. Loosen estate has been in the same family for over 200 years, but it was Ernst Loosen who took the helm in 1988 and propelled it to international stardom by focusing on terroir-driven Rieslings. While the Middle Mosel is famous for its blue slate soils, a unique vein of iron-rich red Devonian slate runs through the steep slopes near the villages of Erden and Ürzig. This 'Red Slate' Riesling is a masterclass in soil expression. The iron content in the red slate imparts a warmer, more muscular, and intensely spicy character to the wine, filled with notes of ripe peach and apricot. Produced using traditional methods, the juice is fermented with indigenous yeasts in large, neutral oak casks called Fuder, allowing the wine to develop a rich texture and complex mineral depth while retaining its signature Mosel freshness.
🍾 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.
