Quick Overview

This entry-level Loosen Riesling embodies the elegant and racy characteristics of steep, slate-soil Mosel vineyards at a very reasonable price. Dr. L comes exclusively from traditional vineyards with steep slopes and slate soil. By working closely with growers on long-term contract, brothers Ernst and Thomas Loosen are able to assure excellent quality in every vintage.

Product Description

The Dr.Loosen estate has been in the same family for over 200 years. When Ernst Loosen assumed ownership in 1988, he realised that with ungrafted vines averaging 50 years old in top-rated Middle Mosel vineyards, he had the raw materials to create stunningly intense world-class wines.To do this, Ernst dramatically reduced his crop size and stopped all chemical fertilisation, preferring only moderate use of organic fertilisers. He insisted on fully mature fruit that had been very strictly selected. He turned to gentler cellar practices that would allow the wine to develop its full potential with a minimum of handling and technological meddling

Tasting note This is a very characteristic Riesling from the Mosel offering a fragrant nose with a hint of honey and green apricot fruit, all of which follow through on the off-dry palate together with leesy, mineral hints. Refreshing, juicy acidity and a touch of spritz add fine balance – very, very good and dangerously quaffable!
Serving suggestions Thai beef salad or grilled white fish.
