NEW ZEALAND WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The 2021 Dr. Loosen Red Slate Dry Riesling is a well-balanced dry Riesling from estate vineyards that show the distinctively forceful minerality of red slate soils.

These Dr. Loosen vineyards are found in the contiguous Middle Mosel villages of Ürzig, Erden, Lösnich, and Kinheim. Following the traditional methods of Ernst Loosen’s great-grandfather, Peter Loosen, this wine is fermented in 3,000-liter, neutral oak casks and kept on the full lees for 12 months. The extended lees contact stabilizes the wine naturally and gives it time to develop a harmonious balance.

About Dr. Loosen Wines

Family-owned for over 200 years, the winery has been run by Ernst F. Loosen since 1988 . Great wines, he believes, are the perfect expression of the soil, the climate and the grape variety. With the legacy of his ancestors – authentic, old vines in historic vineyards in the Middle Moselle – he has found exactly the material he needs to produce independent, complex wines of world class. Today, Dr. Loosen internationally as the flagship for a rediscovered German Riesling culture. The winery has been a member of the VDP (Association of German Prädikat Wineries) since 1993.

Enjoying a great wine is a unique pleasure. Its variety of aromas reflects an entire cosmos, from the change of seasons to the unmistakable terroir of a vineyard to the passion of the winemakers. All the great winemakers I have met have a clear vision. They know how their wines should taste before the first grape is even picked. They always let individual terroir triumph over technology. And quality – perfectly ripe grapes – always comes before quantity. Great wines are the result of great passion and dedication to clear convictions that are realized without compromise.

We feel these principles at our two wineries Dr. Loosen on the Moselle and Villa Wolf in the Palatinate. We want to produce wines that seduce you to enjoy, that are concentrated and complex and that reflect their origins in an unmistakable way.

When I drink a wine from our Erste Große Lage Wehlener Sonnenuhr, I want to smell the blue slate that nourished the grapes and taste the fruit that is associated with this unique terroir. I want to experience the special character of a vintage. That’s the thing that sets wine apart from any other drink.

Every great wine is created in the mind. But it only proves its true greatness in your glass. I hope you drink our wine with the same joy with which I create it.
