Tasting Notes
One of the great Riesling's from one of the great vineyards from one of the great producer's of the Mosel. So yeah, it's great! Old vines with a southerly exposure on the red-slated cliffs of the Mosel. This Auslese is sweet yet fresh, and perfect with cheese or lighter, fruit-based desserts. - Chris L
Dr Loosen has been in the same family for more than 200 years and its present guardian, Ernst Loosen, is one of the great characters of the wine world. He assumed ownership of the estate in 1988 and immediately realised that, with ungrafted vines averaging 60 years old in some of Germany's best-rated vineyards, he had the raw materials to create stunningly intense, world-class wines. To achieve this, Erni dramatically reduced his crop size and ceased using chemical fertilisers, preferring only moderate use of organic fertilisers. And, most importantly, he turned to gentler cellar practices that allow the wine to develop to its full potential with a minimum of handling and technological meddling. - Importer Note
