Product Notes

Dr Loosen Dr. L Riesling is an exquisite German wine, harvested from the verdant vines of the Mosel region. This wine showcases an invigorating balance of fruity sweetness and lively acidity, paired with pleasant overtones of green apple, citrus and peach. Its light, mineral-infused taste dances delicately on the palate, while its floral nose evokes a sense of calm serenity. With its moderate alcohol content, the Dr. L Riesling is perfect for a relaxed evening soiree or paired with spicy Asian cuisines. An offering from the eminent Dr Loosen Estate, it promises both quality and an unravelling mystery of tastes.

Tasting Notes

Dr. L Riesling is an ambassador for Riesling in the fruity style. It is pleasant and approachable, but not a simple wine due mainly to is crisp acidity and mineral notes. Dr. Loosen’s non-estate wine embodies the style of classic Mosel Riesling. It is refreshing and fruity, with a fine mineral edge that is typical of the region. Dr. L Riesling is made with fruit that comes exclusively from traditional vineyards with steep slopes and slate soil. By working closely with local growers on long-term contract, brothers Ernst and Thomas Loosen are able to maintain excellent quality in every vintage.
