This wine embodies the delicate and racy style that is characteristic of Riesling grown in the slate-soil vineyards of the Mosel valley. And, best of all, it delivers this uniquely delicious and invigorating taste at a very affordable price for every day enjoyment. It is a bright, refreshing, fruit-driven wine, with a juicy mid-palate and a crisp, drying finish.

ABOUT THE 2023 VINTAGE
The 2023 growing season kicked off with a warmer-than-usual winter, leading to irregular rainfall and a dry early spring. The arrival of summer rains revitalized the vineyards, transforming them into lush green expanses and ensuring sufficient water reserves for the following months. This constant moisture required precise grape selection that was adeptly managed by our highly skilled team. The highlight of the 2023 harvest was the later part of September, which brought beautiful weather conditions for a superb harvest. Ultimately, the 2023 vintage showcases Riesling’s resilience, with an excellent balance of quality and quantity that delivered a full range of exceptional wines.

ABOUT LOOSEN BROS.
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.
