Dr. Loosen’s “Red Slate” Riesling is a dry expression of the grape. It is produced with fruit from estate-owned vineyards in the red slate soils in the villages of Erden and Ürzig. Fermented with native yeasts in 3,000-litre, neutral oak casks, to help to soften the acidity, and allow a tiny amount of oxygenation, adding texture and greater complexity to the wine. Displaying an intense minerality with floral, spice and citrus notes, this drier style is ideal with light fish or vegetable dishes. Enjoy now until 2020+.
Dr. Loosen is one of the most highly esteemed estates of Germany: owned by the Loosen family for over 200 years, today the estate is run by Ernst Loosen. 80% of their grapes grown are Riesling and many of their vines are 60-70 years old. Their wines are terroir driven and have built their reputation on impeccably crafted wines.
