✨ wine.spec_sheet
The Dr. Loosen estate, nestled along the steep, winding banks of the Mosel River, has been in the same family for over two centuries. Under the visionary stewardship of Ernst Loosen, the estate has championed the global reputation of Mosel Riesling. This Riesling Sekt Brut celebrates Germany's historic passion for sparkling wine, a tradition dating back to the early 19th century when German Sekt rivaled Champagne in prestige. Sourced from steep, slate-soil vineyards characteristic of the Mosel valley, this sparkling wine is crafted to preserve the grape's natural, vibrant acidity and aromatic purity. The slate soils impart a distinct, flinty minerality, while the cool climate ensures a slow ripening process that develops delicate notes of green apple, white peach, and citrus, all framed by a crisp, refreshing effervescence.
🍾 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.
