✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Urziger Wurzgarten, or 'spice garden of Urzig,' is one of the Mosel's most dramatic and singular vineyards. Unlike the blue slate that dominates the region, the Wurzgarten is defined by a striking, iron-rich red volcanic soil mixed with slate. This unique terroir imparts a famously exotic, spicy character to the 100% Riesling grapes grown here. Dr. Loosen's 'GG Alte Reben' (Grosses Gewachs Old Vines) is sourced from ancient, ungrafted vines—some over a century old—whose deep roots draw complex mineral nutrients from the earth. Winemaker Ernst Loosen employs traditional methods, fermenting the juice with indigenous yeasts in historic, neutral 1,000-liter oak casks (Fuder) and allowing it extended contact with the yeast lees. The resulting dry white wine is a masterpiece of power and elegance, showcasing vibrant acidity, rich tropical fruit notes, and a distinct, lingering herbal spice that pays homage to its legendary vineyard name.
🍾 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.
