Description

Information:

Family-owned for over 200 years, the winery has been managed by Ernst F. Loosen since 1988. Great wines, he believes, are the perfect expression of soil, climate and grape variety. With the heritage of his ancestors - old vines, true to their roots, in historic Grand Cru sites of the Middle Mosel – he found exactly the material he needed to produce independent, complex wines of world class. Today applies Dr. Loosen internationally as the figurehead for a rediscovered German Riesling culture. Since 1993, the winery has been a member of the VDP (Association of German Quality Wineries).

Wehlener Sonnenuhr

In this very steep vineyard grows one of the most elegant and perfumed white wines in the world. The stony, shallow blue slate soil gives the wine a delicate and fresh acidity and a unique elegance. In their youth, the wines of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr are the most charming of our estate, with the fragrance of white peach and green apple. With many years of bottle maturity, they can grow into legends.


Wine making:

Auslese are top wines made from fully ripe (50%), partly noble rotten (50%), selected grapes. Late-harvested, highly ripe selected grapes produce very long-lasting, concentrated wines bursting with fruit and minerality. A minimum maturity is legally prescribed for each quality level, which we of course always exceed because we want to produce the best possible wines.
