Dr. Loosen - Riesling Feinherb 2021
Dr. Loosen is a producer based near Bernkastel in the Mosel region of Germany . Led by wine personality Ernst "Ernie" Loosen , it is one of Germany's most famous Riesling producers. Ernie Loosen, who has been in charge since 1988, was Decanter magazine's Man of the Year in 2005 and is widely regarded as one of the world's most influential winemakers. The estate has six large vineyards, all of which were designated as Erste Lage in the 1868 Prussian classification of Moselle vineyards. These include famous names such as Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Erdener Prälat and Graacher Himmelreich, and wines from these sites are released as single vineyard labels. In addition to slate and mineral-rich volcanic soils and classic, long, cool summers, these rocky vineyards also have old, ungrafted vines, some of which are over 120 years old. Dr. Loosen offers a wide range of styles, from botrytis-free dry Rieslings to rich, lush sweet wines.
