Dr. Loosen Riesling dry

The Dr. Loosen Riesling trocken is a classic Mosel Riesling that shows what Devonian slate can bring out of grapes: clear structure, lively acidity and a minerality that shapes the finish.

Ernst Loosen has cultivated vineyards along the Middle Moselle for generations, many of them on steep slate soils. This Riesling is made from grapes grown in several different vineyard sites – an approach that creates depth through complexity rather than weight. The result is a wine that is typical of the region: lean, precise, with a distinct sense of place.

In the glass, it displays aromas of white peach, lemon zest, and a hint of apricot, underpinned by a delicate slate minerality. The acidity is lively but never harsh, carrying the wine through a clean, lingering finish. Medium-bodied, with no heaviness.

Best served at 8–10 °C . Pairs well with trout with almond butter, Asian dishes with lemongrass, or a light goat cheese. Also a solid choice as an aperitif.
