A beautiful dry Riesling from Dr Loosen. Sourced from steep vineyards over the Mosel river, where red slate soils impart gorgeous white peach, floral and flinty elements to the wine. Refined and racy, this delicious wine is a must for German and dry Riesling lovers.
Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"The 2021 Dr. Loosen Red Slate Dry Riesling is a well-balanced dry Riesling from estate vineyards that show the distinctively forceful minerality of red slate soils. These Dr. Loosen vineyards are found in the contiguous Middle Mosel villages of Ürzig, Erden, Lösnich, and Kinheim. Following the traditional methods of Ernst Loosen’s great-grandfather, Peter Loosen, this wine is fermented in 3,000-liter, neutral oak casks and kept on the full lees for 12 months. The extended lees contact stabilizes the wine naturally and gives it time to develop a harmonious balance.
This dry Riesling has an intense minerality that is warm and enveloping. It has floral, spicy, citrus blossom aromas and harmonious flavors with a full, expansive texture. Very expressive."
