    Producer

    The Dr Loosen estate vineyard is situated on the steep slopes of the Moselle River, where the schist soil plays a crucial role in shaping the wines. The vines' roots delve deep into this mineral-rich soil, allowing the grapes to develop complex aromas and a beautiful structure. The region's climate, with its warm summers and cold winters, promotes a slow and even ripening of the grapes, essential for producing Rieslings of such finesse and elegance. Careful vineyard management is paramount to ensuring a healthy harvest and high-quality grapes.

    Owner and history

    The estate is currently managed by Ernst Loosen, representing the fourth generation of this winemaking family. Since taking the helm, he has modernized winemaking techniques while respecting Moselle traditions. Passionate about Riesling and its terroir, Ernst has helped to raise the estate's profile internationally. His philosophy is based on a deep respect for the environment and sustainable viticultural practices, aiming to pass on this precious heritage to future generations. Under his leadership, Dr. Loosen continues to be an ambassador for German wines on the world stage.

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking process for Rieslings at Domaine Dr Loosen is carried out with meticulous care. After hand-harvesting the fully ripe grapes, they are gently pressed to extract the juice. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving freshness and fruity aromas. The wine is then aged on its fine lees for several months, which imparts complexity and roundness. This traditional method, combined with modern expertise, allows for the production of wines that faithfully reflect the Moselle terroir. The 2022 Riesling Kabinett is thus the result of painstaking winemaking, aiming to capture the very essence of this emblematic grape variety.
