Dr. Loosen produces riesling from his vineyards, classified in 1868 as "Grand Cru" in the Prussian classification, spread throughout the Moselle valley. The high quality of its cru is due to three factors: first of all, the exceptional climate along the Moselle valley. The steep slopes with south exposure allow the grapes to reach full ripeness, fresh nights, even in the summer, retain the characteristic grape acidity, while the proximity of the river reflects the sun's rays and retains the heat thus helping The grapes to mature and protecting the vines from the frosts. The other quality factor is that the soil is rich in slate and mineral substances: the rocky slate soil and the numerous emerging rocks keep the heat of the day and ensure full maturation. A thin surface layer forces the vines to dig deep into the soil to find nutrients, thus producing intense minerals and vibrant wines. The ultimate quality factor is due to the high age of corporate vineyards with an average age of over 60 years (120-year-olds) they are still on their feet since phylloxera could not develop along the Moselle area . Erder Treppchen is a kabinett that comes from a rich soil of iron and red slate which translates into wines that are muscular and complex, with a mineral and intense finish.

Three Senses

Bright straw yellow in color, the nose shows aromas of citrus fruit, particularly lemon peel and bitter orange, and exotic fruit that then give way to a distinct minerality. On the palate the wine is intense, fat and vigorous with good acidity. It closes with nice persistence on notes of exotic fruit and spices.

Dr. Loosen

Dr.Loosen has been owned by the family for more than 200 years. When Ernst Loosen took control of it in 1988, he realized that with free standing vines with an average age of 60 years in the most vineyards in central Moselle, he had the raw material to create stunningly intense
and world-class wines. To do this, Ernst drastically reduced the harvest and decided to use only a moderate amount of organic fertilizer. All six of the major vineyards of the Dr.Loosen company were classified as "Grand Cru" in the Prussian classification dated 1868. It was before the Burgundy classification! On steep slopes and with south exposure of the Moselle, the proximity of the river creates an ideal microclimate for Riesling. vines have an ideal exposure to the sun to achieve perfect maturation. Fresh nights, even in the summer, retain the characteristic acidity of the grape, which is essential for a clean and alive Riesling. The river reflects the sun's rays and retains the heat helping the grapes ripe and protecting the vines from the frosts. The rocky slate soil and the numerous emerging rocks keep the heat
of the day and ensure full maturation. A thin surface layer forces the vines to dig deep into the soil to find nutrients, this vines thus produce intense minerals and vibrant wines. Dr.Loosen's vines are now 60 years old and are still on their free foot. Old vineyards naturally produce smaller crops with greater concentration and greater complexity.
