About Dr Loosen
For over 200 years, the Loosen family have been producing wines from their famously steep slate vineyards overlooking the Mosel, developing into one of the most significant estates in Germany. Now headed up by the incredibly talented Ernst Loosen, Decanter’s ‘Man of the Year’ in 2005, one of the world’s most esteemed Riesling masters and Germany’s most influential winemakers.
Dr. Loosen owns six major vineyards, all of which were designated as Erste Lage (first growth) in the 1868 Prussian Classification of Mosel vineyards. These include famous names such as Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Erdener Prälat and Graacher Himmelreich. These vineyards produce revered single-vineyard wines. As well as the mineral-rich slate and volcanic soils and classic, long, cool summers, these rocky vineyards also have old, un-grafted vines, some more than 120 years old.

Vinous (94+)Golden yellow. Scents of apple blossom, white raisin and quince complicated by a hint of honeyed botrytis. Luscious, candied papaya fruit shows a velvety texture, but mouthwatering acidity keeps the palate fresh. At once dense and light, with mineral salts pervading the elegant, very long finish. A superb auslese and one of the best of the vintage. |
