Dr. Loosen Pinot Blanc

Dr. Loosen's Pinot Blanc shows what the Mosel can do beyond Riesling: ripe fruit, a creamy mouthfeel, and a mineral vein that keeps the wine lively.

Weingut Dr. Loosen in Bernkastel-Kues is one of the most well-known addresses in the Middle Mosel. Ernst Loosen, who took over the winery in 1988, developed it into an internationally respected estate — with a focus on old vines, minimal intervention in the cellar, and aging in traditional Fuder oak barrels.

On the nose, this Pinot Blanc shows pear, white peach, and a hint of yellow apple. Aging in large oak barrels gives the wine texture without an oaky tone — the mouthfeel is soft and round, the acidity present enough to ensure freshness. Mineral, slightly salty finish.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Goes well with:

• Poultry with cream sauce or lemon butter
• Risotto with mushrooms or asparagus
• Medium-aged Gouda or Gruyère
