Dr. Loosen Riesling Dry 2022

Dr. Loosen, one of the most esteemed producers in Germany's Mosel region, is renowned for crafting some of the finest Rieslings in the world. The Dr. Loosen Riesling Dry 2022 reflects the estate’s commitment to quality, with a focus on expressing the unique characteristics of the Mosel’s steep, slate-rich vineyards. The cool climate and mineral soils of the region allow for wines with vibrant acidity, precision, and a distinct mineral backbone, making this dry Riesling a perfect example of Mosel’s elegant, terroir-driven style.

The 2022 vintage was marked by warm growing conditions, producing ripe fruit while maintaining the crisp acidity that is essential for balanced Riesling.

Appearance: Pale straw yellow with greenish highlights, showing clarity and freshness.

Aroma: The nose is fresh and aromatic, with notes of green apple, white peach, and citrus, accompanied by subtle floral hints and a characteristic wet slate minerality.

Taste: On the palate, the wine is crisp and clean, with flavours of lime, green apple, and grapefruit, balanced by a bright acidity. The wine’s signature minerality runs through, adding depth and structure, while the dryness keeps the focus on the fruit and terroir.

Finish: The finish is long and refreshing, with lingering citrus and mineral notes, leaving a crisp, clean sensation on the palate.

Food pairing: This dry Riesling pairs beautifully with seafood such as grilled fish or shrimp, where the wine’s acidity and minerality enhance the delicate flavours. It is also an excellent match for light, herb-driven dishes like a fresh salad or sushi, as the wine’s citrusy brightness complements the clean, fresh flavours.
