✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
The historic Dr. Loosen estate has been in the Loosen family for over two centuries, situated along the dramatic, slate-lined slopes of the Middle Mosel in Bernkastel-Kues, Germany. Since taking over management in 1988, Ernst Loosen has revitalized the winery by strictly focusing on low yields, meticulous vineyard stewardship, and minimal intervention in the cellar. The estate is blessed with extraordinarily old, ungrafted Riesling vines in legendary Grand Cru (Grosse Lage) vineyards such as Erdener Prälat, Wehlener Sonnenuhr, and Bernkasteler Lay. Dr. Loosen is globally celebrated for producing pure, expressive, and age-worthy Rieslings that range from vibrant dry bottlings to lusciously complex, mineral-laced Prädikat and dessert wines.
