You want and definitely have to try this special Riesling, from the famous "red vineyards" of Mosel!
Riesling Red Slate - Dr Loosen comes from Mosel vineyards and combines the fresh and playful aromas of the variety, with the charm of the very rare terroir! We would suggest not trying to compare it to anything you have already taste so far, from the brilliant Dr Loosen. This is something completely different!
The Weingut Dr Loosen winery has been growing Riesling in Germany for around 200 years. Its reputation took off, after 1988, when Dr. Loosen, who was rightly called "the king" of Riesling, took over the helm! In Mosel region, where the vines are planted, the steep slopes allow only manual harvesting, while its stony blue slate soil is a natural source of nutrients. The roots of the plants, penetrate very deep into the ground, in their attempt to find water, causing the minerality of the wines to hike up. These plants, due to the soil, are also resistant to phylloxera, the most destructive insect of the vines! All this, in 2022, gave the winery an important distinction, among the best vineyards in the world! If you have tasted the wines even once, you will surely understand why.
But pay attention to the following. Riesling Red Slate - Dr Loosen comes from the Erden and Urzig regions, where the soil consists of red rather than blue slate. After all, his name says so! Native yeasts and maturation for 12 months in oak barrels of 3000 liters in contact with the lees, give the wine its complexity, with intense metallic and floral elements, and a delicate spicy character that takes your breath away!
Yes, all these you can enjoy in Riesling Red Slate - Dr Loosen...and the best way is with seafood and sushi!
