Tasting Notes:

This extremely popular introductory wine embodies the elegant and racy style of classic Mosel Riesling. It is refreshing and fruity, with a fine mineral edge that is typical of the region. The grapes used to make Dr. L come exclusively from traditional vineyards with steep slopes and slate soil. By working closely with a select group of growers on long-term contracts, brothers Ernst and Thomas Loosen are able to ensure excellent quality in every vintage.

Description

LOOSEN BROS.

DrLoosen

Family-owned for over 200 years, the winery has been managed since 1988 by Ernst F. Loosen . Great wines, he believes, are the perfect expression of the soil, climate and grape variety. With the heritage of his ancestors – old vines, true to their roots, in historical Grand Cru sites of the Middle Mosel – he has found exactly the material he needs to produce independent, complex wines of world class. Today, Dr. Loosen is internationally regarded as the poster child for a rediscovered German Riesling culture. Since 1993, the winery has been a member of the VDP (Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates).

THE MOSEL REGION

Located in far western Germany, the Mosel valley’s steep, southfacing slopes and slate soil create the perfect conditions for Riesling, giving the vines ideal exposure to the sun and a racy minerality. The cool, northern climate allows the grapes to ripen slowly, for full flavor development, while retaining bright, refreshing acidity.

    A bit on the sweet side (unexpectedly).
