About Dr Loosen
For over 200 years, the Loosen family have been producing wines from their famously steep slate vineyards overlooking the Mosel, developing into one of the most significant estates in Germany. Now headed up by the incredibly talented Ernst Loosen, Decanter’s ‘Man of the Year’ in 2005, one of the world’s most esteemed Riesling masters and Germany’s most influential winemakers.
Dr. Loosen owns six major vineyards, all of which were designated as Erste Lage (first growth) in the 1868 Prussian Classification of Mosel vineyards. These include famous names such as Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Erdener Prälat and Graacher Himmelreich. These vineyards produce revered single-vineyard wines. As well as the mineral-rich slate and volcanic soils and classic, long, cool summers, these rocky vineyards also have old, un-grafted vines, some more than 120 years old.

Vinous (91)A site-typical nose of dark cherry and apple laced with mint presages a polished, delicate yet richly flavored palate at once succulently fruity and coolingly herb-infused. The effect is delightfully sorbet-like, leading to a buoyant finish of consummate refreshment. Loosen has been slowly dialing back the level of residual sugar in his Kabinetts, and here sweetness is deftly integrated and entirely supportive. |
