✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
