ERDENER TREPPCHEN RIESLING TROCKENBEERENAUSLESE 2018 - DR. LOOSEN

Erdener Treppchen Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 2018 Dr Loosen is probably one of the rarest wines in the world and the reasons for this are many. Initially, the 100 points that Robert Parker gave it. Secondly, it is one of the few (if not unique) Trockenbeerenauslese wines bottled in a 750 ml bottle and not 375! Third, we are talking about Loosen and the GG vineyard Erdener Treppchen. Do you want more?

Because we used some German terminology, you probably have some unknown words so let's make everything clear. GG (Grosses Gewachs) wines come from the Grosses Lages vineyards, which is what they call Grand Cru in Burgundy. The Erdener Treppchen vineyard is one of them and is famous for its high content of red slate. Treppchen wines are expressive and fruity even in their youth. At the same time Trockenbeerenauslese means selection of dried grapes. Trockenbeerenauslese is the jewel of the crown of VDP categorization and one of the most important sweet wines in the world. They are made only in exceptional years when the conditions allow noble rot to fully affect the grapes included in TBA wines. The harvest is done by hand, nipple by nipple and in fact, in more than one "passage", which justifies their high price. The must is very dense and high in sugar, so the fermentation proceeds very slowly. The resulting wine has a lot of residual sugars (at least 150 g / l), sharp acidity that contributes to the balance and elegance of the wine and incomparably complex character.
