✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Wehlener Sonnenuhr, or 'Sundial of Wehlen,' is one of the Mosel's most iconic vineyards, named after the historic sundial erected in 1842 by Jodocus Prüm to guide vineyard workers. Dr. Loosen's Eiswein from this legendary site is a rare, high-stakes masterpiece. Crafted from 100% Riesling grapes left on the vine until they freeze solid—requiring temperatures of at least -7°C (19°F)—the grapes are harvested in the freezing dark of early morning and pressed immediately. This process leaves the water behind as ice, yielding a highly concentrated, nectar-like juice. The steep, blue Devonian slate soils of the Sonnenuhr infuse the wine with a distinct stony minerality, balancing the luscious sweetness with a piercing, vibrant acidity that prevents it from ever feeling heavy.
🍾 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.
