In the family for over 200 years, Erni Loosen assumed ownership in 1988 and quickly propelled the reputation of Dr. Loosen into the highest echelon of Germany’s finest producers. With a focus on the old, ungrafted vines that the estate owns in some of the Mosel valley’s best-rated vineyards, the wines clearly express their cool-climate origins through environmentally sensitive viticulture, strict harvest selection, and gentle cellar practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe famous “sundial” vineyard, in the village of Wehlen, produces the quintessential Mosel Riesling Kabinett: elegant and refined, with a racy texture and endless charm. This precipitously steep and rocky vineyard yields some of the most elegant and sophisticated white wines in the world. The classic blue slate soil gives the wines a delicate, crisp acidity that perfectly balances the pure peach and lemon fruit. It’s a lively wine that dances gracefully on the palate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTECHNICAL INFO\u003cbr\u003eSoil Type: Blue Devonian slate\u003cbr\u003eAge of Vines: 60 years average\u003cbr\u003eViticulture: Sustainable\u003cbr\u003eVinification: Cool fermentation in stainless steel\u003cbr\u003etanks and traditional Fuder barrels; half fermented\u003cbr\u003ewith natural yeasts, half with cultured yeasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe spring blossom aromas leap out of the glass.
