Dr. Loosen Winery, under the leadership of Ernst “Erni” Loosen since 1988, has become one of Germany’s most internationally acclaimed wineries.

The Erdener Treppchen vineyard, known for its steep terraces and red slate soils, is home to vines over 100 years old, cultivated with deep respect for the terroir and tradition. The 2022 vintage captures the intensity and complexity of this unique site like few others. The Erdener Treppchen Riesling 2022 Dr. Loosen fermented with ambient yeasts in traditional 1,000-liter oak foudres and aged on its lees for a year, preserving its authentic character.
