Tasting Notes
Ernie Loosen is a force to reckoned with in the Mosel. You've probably heard of him. The Dr.L is a beautifully balanced, slightly off-dry Riesling which is great as an aperitif or with some fresh shellfish. Red apple, aromatic, mineral. - Chris L
Dr. Loosen is one of Germany’s most celebrated estates, with over 200 years of family history in the Mosel. Since taking over in 1988, Ernst Loosen has transformed the domaine into a global benchmark for Riesling, combining deep respect for tradition with a clear, expressive style that showcases the region’s extraordinary terroir.
The estate owns around 50 hectares of steep, slate-soiled vineyards, including some of the Mosel’s most prestigious sites such as Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Ürziger Würzgarten, Erdener Prälat, and Graacher Himmelreich. Many of the vines are ungrafted and well over a century old, producing fruit of remarkable concentration and finesse.
In the cellar, Ernst Loosen employs a classic approach: hand harvesting, spontaneous fermentations, and careful aging in large old oak casks to preserve purity and structure. The resulting wines range from bone-dry Grosses Gewächs bottlings to lusciously sweet Prädikat styles, all marked by precision, mineral tension, and ageing potential.
Today, Dr. Loosen is recognized worldwide as a standard-bearer for Riesling, embodying both the Mosel’s heritage and its continued vitality on the world stage.
