✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Dr. Loosen Estate Riesling serves as a vibrant introduction to the steep, slate-strewn slopes of Germany's Mosel valley, where the Loosen family has cultivated vines for over two centuries. Under the visionary stewardship of Ernst Loosen, who took over the estate in 1988, this wine has become a global benchmark for classic Mosel Riesling. Crafted entirely from 100% Riesling grapes grown on steep, south-facing slopes rich in Devonian slate, the wine benefits from a unique microclimate where the river acts as a mirror, reflecting warmth back onto the vines. Historically, these dramatic slopes were first terraced by the Romans, who recognized the slate's ability to absorb heat during the day and radiate it back to the vines at night. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its pristine fruit character, this estate bottling captures the quintessential Mosel tension between bright, electric acidity, delicate stone fruit flavors, and a distinct, stony 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.
