Erdener Treppchen Riesling Spätlese fruity sweet

Every Riesling from the Dr. Loosen winery is meant to "reflect its origin." For Ernst "Ernie" Loosen, the motto is: terroir takes precedence over technology, and wine quality over quantity. One secret lies in the advanced age of the vines and the very low yields they produce. In the cellar, cellar master Bernhard Schug ensures slow fermentation without cultured yeasts, no fining, and minimal wine movement. The Dr. Loosen winery has owned vineyards in the Bernkasteler Lay, Erdener Treppchen, and Ürziger Würzgarten for over 200 years. These sites, with their unique terroir and microclimate, are prime locations for Riesling. For many years, "Ernie" Loosen has been producing excellent wines from these sites, characterized by their concentrated fruit, outstanding potential, and high degree of typicity.

The Winery

Dr. Loosen

VDP Member Estate

The German winery is based in the Palatinate and is managed by Dr. Ernst F. Loosen. The 22 hectares of vineyards are divided into six different sites, which include the Wehlener Sonnenuhr, the Erdener Treppchen, or the Graacher Himmelreich.

The slate soils serve as good heat reservoirs for cool nights, and the Moselle river reflects sunlight onto the steep slopes during the day, where the grapes ripen.

Almost exclusively the Riesling grape variety is grown and used for production at the winery. Only 2% of the wines are made from Burgundy varieties and occasionally from Cabernet Sauvignon or Dornfelder. The family business produces up to 180,000 bottles of wine annually.
