The Dr. Loosen Estate has been in the same family for over 200 years. With ungrafted vines averaging 50 years old, some of the best vineyard sites in Germany (four rated grand cru and two premier cru by both the 1868 German classification and the more current Wine Atlas of Germany), Ernst Loosen has the raw materials for stunningly intense, world-class wines. With crop yields almost half of what is permitted by law, only moderate use of organic fertilizers, and old-fashioned cellar practices, Loosen strives to create wines that unmistakably say, "Riesling, Mosel, and Dr. Loosen." In his own words, "The great winemakers I have met invariably possess a clear concept in their mind of what their wine should be. It's a vision that places terrior over technology, and grape quality over quantity. This is the level of winemaking we pursue at Dr. Loosen. Our goal is to produce wines that are luscious, complex, and true to their roots."

The 2011 Dr. L Riesling evokes a walk through an orchard in the late summer: luscious pear, peach and apple aromas retain the crisp sweet tart quality of ripening fruit just before harvest. On the palate, the medium-bodied wine is refreshing and juicy, with zippy acidity balancing bright flavors of...

The Treppchen Kabinett always stands out as a young wine,
with its precocious red fruits and dense minerality from the red
slate soil.
An elegant yet muscular wine, it makes an ideal aperitif,
as well as an excellent partner for lighter seafood and poultry
dishes. This wine benefits greatly...

This wine comes from parcels owned by Dr. Loosen in the blue
slate villages of Bernkastel, Graach and Wehlen. It is bright
and pure with the classic white peach fruit and floral, flinty
minerality that is so typical from blue slate. A plush attack on
the mid-palate leads to a deliciously firm,...

THis entry-level Dr. Loosen Riesling embodies the elegant and racy characteristics of steep, slate-soil Mosel vineyards at a very reasonable price. It is a bright, vibrant, fruit-driven wine made with grapes from contracted growers througout the Mosel River valley who work very closely with...

This intense Spätlese bears the characteristic purity of the vintage. It is very ripe and juicy, with a mouth-filling richness that is balanced by a firm, typically spicy minerality. At the end, there is a lovely lift to the dry finish.

#67 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2012
Spatlese [SHPAYT-lay-zuh] is German for late picked. It has more richness and body than Kabinett because the grapes are allowed to ripen for an extra week or more. This Prädikat (ripeness
level) often gives you the purest expression of the vineyard's...

The hallmarks of the 2011 vintage are purity and balance. The 2011
Red Slate Dry has a pronounced, enveloping aroma of slate minerality. There is good impact on the palate, with a nicely lifted mid-palate and a rounded, harmonious structure.

The 2010 vintage on the Mosel is producing some of the best wines of the decade as it has combined very ripe fruit with higher acid levels. The 2010 Ürziger Wurzgarten (Ürzig is the village and Wurzgarten means spice garden) is no exception. The aromatic floral notes on the nose lead into lush...

Auslese [OWS-lay-zuh] means selected from the
harvest, and is a luscious, limited-production sweet
wine made from very ripe clusters that are about 50
percent affected by botrytis. The botrytis mold, (aka
Noble Rot) draws moisture from the grapes, dehydrating them and concentrating the juice....

Kabinett is the lightest most delicate style of Prädikatswein in Germany, but that does not necessarily mean weak. This 2010 Erdener Treppchen Kabinett combines extraordinary concentration of fruit and length on the finish with bracing minerality. An elegant, yet muscular wine, it makes an ideal...

Notes of white peach and grapefruit on the palate flow nicely into racy acidity. Although the 2010 fruit was much riper than the 2009, the acidity was also higher which makes this wine extremely concentrated while still maintaining balance. The 2010 vintage also had lower yields than normal, but...
