Dr. Loosen - Dr. L - Dry Riesling

Description

Overview: Loosen Bros. (“Gebrüder Loosen” in German), is Ernst Loosen, of the renowned Dr. Loosen estate, and his younger brother, Thomas. Together, the brothers work with small growers throughout the Mosel region to source fruit for the wines, which are vinified by the same highly skilled cellar team that produces the Dr. Loosen estate wines. Very strict quality standards require that the growers improve their viticulture in order to sustainably grow the healthy, perfectly ripe fruit that Ernst and Thomas want for these wines.

This Riesling embodies the delicate and racy characteristics of traditional, slate-soil Mosel vineyards at a very affordable price for every day enjoyment. The grapes are farmed sustainably in accordance with the strict German environmental regulations. The grapes are hand selected during harvest before fermenting in 100% stainless steel; which is stopped by chilling. 

Tasting Notes: Aromatically this wine is citrus driven with notes of daisy's and honeysuckle. The palate is bright and only slightly off dry, with zesty flavors of pink grapefruit as well as a steely finish that leaves the mouth watering. 

Pairing: Smoked or cured fish, goat cheese, fresh shellfish.
