Distributor Notes "Characterful Riesling from the steeply sloping vineyards of the middle Nahe region. The vines grow in stony, weathered volcanic soils of porphyry and melaphyr in particular, with certain amounts of slate and quartzite. 100% selective hand harvested. Fermented and matured in stainless steel vats and large oak barrels. Wonderfully fresh and well defined, elegant with a tingling minerality. A delicious wine for every day with moderate alcohol, very soothing acidity and a dry finish."
‘Effusive white fruit and mirabelle with some floral notes make this racy, Kabinett-style riesling so juicy and energetic on the palate, with a long, medium-dry, mineral finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. The first vintage of this wine. Drink now. Screw cap.’ 91 points, Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com, July 2021.

Ernie Loosen is a legend of the industry a leading light for quality in the Mosel, former Decanter Man of the Year and a fun guy to eat dinner with. Even his entry level wines are great quality.
This is a great starter to a meal or nice paired with seafood.
The "Dr. L" is fermented and matured in stainless steel. It offers a very attractive and direct nose of pear, spices and herbs, leaving an elegantly mineral and fruity … more
The Grosses Gewächs Réserve wines are selectively harvested from the finest parcels of very old, ungrafted vines. They are naturally fermented in the same way as the GGs but stay for 24 months on the full lees in traditional Fuder casks. They are then held in bottle for a further 24 months before release. This extended maturation brings an extra dimension of finesse and balance to our wines. Erdener Prälat is perhaps the greatest vineyard in the Mosel region. It … more

This dry Riesling is a limited-production "great growth" from a parcel of extremely old vines in Erdener Treppchen that lies directly above Erdener Prälat. The fruit comes from vines aged 100+ years, growing on red Devonian slate. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in traditional 1,000-litre Fuder casks; matured on full lees for 12 months.
"Intensely spicy and flinty nose with stacks of anise and fennel seed character. High tensile strength on the palate although it is only medium-bodied. Great wet stone … more

The "Sundial of Wehlen" is one of the greatest vineyards in the Middle Mosel. The soil is almost nothing but broken shards of blue Devonian slate, which gives a lively minerality to the wines. Citrus and white peach flavours predominate when the wines are young, turning to a pure expression of the mineral soil as they age. 100% Riesling from vines of more than 100 years of age. Fermented with indigenous yeast in a 3,000-litre, neutral oak, cask; matured on … more

This precipitously steep, rocky vineyard consistently yields some of the most elegant and sophisticated white wines in the world. Wehlener Sonnenuhr (pronounced VAY-len-er ZON-en-ooer) is rated "First Growth" (Erste Lage) in the 1868 Prussian classification of the Mosel, and "Great First-Class" in the Wine Atlas of Germany by Hugh Johnson & Stuart Pigott (1995). The mineral-rich, blue Devonian slate soil of the "sundial" vineyard produces quintessential Mosel Riesling: delicate and refined, with racy minerality.
