This top-selling Loosen Bros. Riesling embodies the delicate and racy characteristics of traditional, slate-soil Mosel vineyards at a very affordable price for everyday enjoyment.

The wine is bright and pure with the vibrant white peach fruit and a floral, flinty minerality that is so typical from blue slate. A plush attack on the mid-palate leads to a deliciously…
This dry Riesling is produced with fruit from estate-owned vineyards in the red slate soils found in the contiguous villages of Ürzig, Erden, Lösnich, and Kinheim. Following the traditional methods of Ernst Loosen’s great-grandfather, Peter Loosen, this wine is fermented in 3,000-liter, neutral oak casks, and kept on the full lees for 12 months. The…
The Freese Vineyard is essentially a northern extension of Breakneck. We can think of these two sites as siblings, their composition is similar (comparable soils, same grape) but the way they carry themselves (the fruit, the flavors, the aromas) show total individualism.
