✨ wine.spec_sheet
The Dr. Loosen estate, managed by the charismatic Ernst Loosen since 1988, boasts a winemaking heritage in the Mosel valley spanning over two centuries. This Riesling Trocken is a classic representation of the region's dry style, sourced from steep, slate-soil vineyards along the winding Mosel River. These dramatic slopes, famously difficult to farm, force the vines to dig deep into the stony earth, imparting a signature mineral intensity to the wine. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve its pristine fruit character, this 100% Riesling beautifully balances the Mosel's naturally high, electric acidity with delicate notes of white peach, green apple, and citrus, offering a crisp and refreshing expression of cool-climate viticulture.
🍾 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.
