✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from one of the Mosel's most iconic vineyards, the Wehlener Sonnenuhr (Sundial of Wehlen) Riesling GG (Grosses Gewächs) represents the pinnacle of dry German Riesling. The vineyard itself is legendary, named after the historic sundial erected in 1842 by Jodocus Prüm to guide the daily rhythm of the vineyard workers. Dr. Loosen crafts this masterpiece from extremely steep, south-facing slopes composed of pure blue Devonian slate, home to ancient, ungrafted vines. This unique terroir imparts a striking, flinty minerality and an elegant, dancing acidity to the wine. In accordance with Grosses Gewächs traditions, the wine is fermented dry using indigenous yeasts in traditional, neutral Fuder oak casks and kept on its starter lees (sur lie) for 12 months. This patient, low-intervention process tempers the Riesling's natural tension with a rich, satiny texture, resulting in a complex white wine defined by white peach, citrus blossom, and a profound, stony depth.
🍾 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.
