✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Dr. Loosen's Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Alte Reben GG Reserve represents the pinnacle of dry Mosel Riesling, combining ancient vines with traditional, patient winemaking. The Urziger Wurzgarten, or 'spice garden of Urzig,' is a legendary, precipitously steep vineyard famous for its striking red volcanic sandstone and slate soils, which stand in stark contrast to the blue slate found throughout most of the region. This unique geology imparts a distinctly exotic, spicy, and herbal character to the wine. Crafted from ungrafted 'Alte Reben' (old vines) that are over a century old, this Grosses Gewachs Reserve undergoes an artisanal aging process. It is fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured on its full lees for 24 months in traditional 1,000-liter oak Fuder casks, followed by extensive bottle aging before release. This extended maturation yields a dry white wine of incredible textural depth, vibrant acidity, and profound mineral complexity.
🍾 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.
