Tasting Notes
The small village of Graach lies between two more-famous neighbours: Bernkastel and Wehlen. This vineyard's steep, southwest-facing slopes and deep soils produce wines that combine the elegance of Wehlen with the rustic strength of Bernkastel. Because of the forceful minerality from the abundant blue slate in the soil, wines from Graach have excellent aging potential and will improve in the bottle for many decades. - Importer Note
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.
