A little stunner, this beautiful wine reflects a modern trend towards dry German Rieslings. As a companion to Loosen's celebrated standard DR L (which is off-dry) this version is totally dry, fresh and mineral. Like all Rieslings from this world-leading expert, the Dr L is perfectly balanced with citrus and florals, acidity and textural allure.
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"This well-rounded Riesling is the dry counterpart to the lightly sweet Dr. L Riesling. Together, these two wines provide a glimpse into the unique stylistic diversity of Riesling, capturing the elegant and racy characteristics of steep, slate-soil Mosel vineyards at a very reasonable price. They are produced with grapes from contracted growers throughout the Mosel River valley who work closely with brothers Ernst and Thomas Loosen to achieve excellent quality in every vintage."

90/100 Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com (2017 Vintage)
"This has plenty of acidity, but the peachy fruits make this astonishingly attractive for a modestly priced dry riesling. Made from bought-in grapes. A long and ripe finish."
