Pristine, fragrant white peach and chalky mineral tones collide in this dry, fresh-fruited Riesling. Steely on the finish, it’s a remarkable value for a sophisticated yet easy-drinking wine that’s likely to please many. Best enjoyed young.

Dr. Loosen has been in the same family for over 200 years, and Dr L Dry Riesling is the estate’s classic, regional expression of the Riesling grape. Located in far western Germany, the Mosel valley’s steep, southfacing slopes create the perfect climate for Riesling, giving the vines ideal exposure to the sun. The cool climate allows the grapes to ripen slowly while retaining bright acidity.

This crisp, refreshing Riesling represents the jumping-in point from Dr. Loosen, capturing the elegant and racy characteristics of steep, slate-soil Mosel vineyards at a very reasonable price. It’s produced from grapes from contracted growers throughout the Mosel valley who work closely with brothers Ernst and Thomas Loosen to achieve excellent quality and superb concentration in every vintage.

Dr Loosen Philosophy

Enjoying a great wine is a unique pleasure. A whole cosmos is reflected in its variety of flavors, from the change of seasons to the unmistakable terroir of a vineyard to the passion of the winemaker. All of the great winemakers I’ve met have a clear vision. They know how their wines should taste before the first grape is even picked. They always let individual terroir triumph over technology. And quality – perfectly ripened grapes – always comes before quantity. Great wines are the result of great passion and dedication to clear convictions that are uncompromisingly realized.

We feel these principles at our two wineries Dr. Loosen on the Moselle and Villa Wolf in the Palatinate. We want to produce wines that seduce you to enjoy, that are concentrated and complex and that unmistakably reflect their origins.

When I drink a wine from our Erste Große Lage Wehlener Sonnenuhr, I want to smell the blue slate that nourished the grapes and taste the fruit that is associated with this unique terroir. I would like to experience the special character of a vintage. This is what sets wine apart from any other drink.

Every great wine is created in the head. But it only proves its true greatness in your glass. I hope you drink our wine with the same pleasure that I make it.
