✨ Tekniske specifikationer

The Urziger Wurzgarten, or 'spice garden of Urzig,' is one of the Mosel's most dramatic and singular vineyards. Rising like a towering, steep amphitheater directly above the river, its striking red volcanic soil and slate composition set it apart from the region's typical blue slate. This unique terroir imparts a famously exotic, spicy, and tropical character to the 100% Riesling grapes grown here. Crafted by the legendary Ernst Loosen, the Auslese Nr15 represents a meticulous selection of botrytis-affected grapes, often harvested from ancient, ungrafted vines. The wine undergoes a slow, cool fermentation in traditional Fuder oak casks, preserving its vibrant acidity and intense mineral core. Historically, the Wurzgarten has been celebrated for centuries, with its wines once commanding prices higher than the finest Bordeaux, prized for their uncanny balance of rich sweetness and electric, tongue-tingling acidity.

🍾 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.
