✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the legendary, precipitously steep amphitheater of the Urziger Wurzgarten, or 'spice garden of Urzig,' this rare Riesling Spatlese is a masterpiece of the Mosel. Unlike the blue slate soils typical of the region, the Wurzgarten is defined by a unique red volcanic soil rich in iron, which imparts a famously exotic, fiery, and spicy character to the grapes. This particular bottling is a 'Versteigerung' (Auction) wine, representing an ultra-limited, superior parcel selection destined for the prestigious annual VDP auction in Trier. Crafted by the iconic Ernst Loosen, who revitalized his family's centuries-old estate with a focus on old, ungrafted vines, this white wine showcases a brilliant tension between opulent tropical fruit sweetness, vibrant Mosel acidity, and a distinct, lingering herbal-spice complexity. It is a liquid testament to one of Germany's most dramatic terroir landscapes.
🍾 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.
