Dr Loosen Riesling "Estate" Qba

Wine information: The Dr. Loosen estate has been in the same family for over 200 years. When Ernst Loosen (pronounced loh-zen) assumed ownership in 1988, he realized that with ungrafted vines averaging 60 years old in some of Germany’s best-rated vineyards, he had the raw materials to create stunningly intense, world-class wines. To achieve this, Ernst dramatically reduced his crop size and stopped all chemical fertilization, preferring only moderate use of organic fertilizers. And, most importantly, he turned to gentler cellar practices that allow the wine to develop its full potential with a minimum of handling and technological meddling. Dr. Loosen is consistently ranked among the top ten wine estates in Germany, alongside such renowned producers as J.J. Prüm, Fritz Haag, Egon Müller, Robert Weil and Hermann Dönnhoff.

Tasting Notes: This "Estate" Riesling embodies the elegant and racy style of the steep slate-soil vineyards in the Mosel valley. It is fruity and low in alcohol, with a refreshingly crisp taste that cools the palate.

Food & drink match: Excellent with spicy food.
