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 (2023 Vintage)
"Harvested from various plots of our red slate vineyards on the Middle Mosel, this is a very characteristic Mosel Riesling. Lively and juicy, with fine, playful aromas. Very stimulating, with a powerful structure, rich fruit – well balanced with the fine acidity typical of the Mosel. Our dry estate Rieslings mature for some time in large oak barrels."
91/100 Clive Pursehouse, Decanter UK, December 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"The yang to his Blue Slate bottling's yin, the Red Slate from Dr Loosen, is a bone dry baby GG for those who love the style, but at a bargain price. The Riesling is sourced from estate vines in Ürzig, Erden, Lösnich and Kinheim villages. Vibrant notes of white pepper, crushed slate and electric lime zest leap from the glass. The palate is linear and lean with soaring acidity that complements the razor's edge notes of slate and lemon zest."
