Product Description
Before taking over his family’s wine estate, Ernst Loosen made a pilgrimage to some of the most highly respected wineries in the world. It was his belief that before he could make world-class wines, he first had to understand what it is that makes a wine truly great. Through this voyage of discovery, Ernst developed the foundation for his own winemaking style — a style that is rooted in the authentic expression of the soil, the climate, and the vines themselves. This is the level of winemaking that we pursue at our two estates: Dr. Loosen on the Mosel and J.L. Wolf in the Pfalz. Our goal is to make wines that are delicious to drink and true to their roots. Of course, the measure of any great wine is not where it begins, but where it ends — in your glass.
Loosen’s Erdener Pralat Riesling Auslese gold capsule…offers ultra-concentration of tangerine mingled with honey and caramel, and is as bright and invigorating as it is rich and unctuously textured. The fresh citrus and the botrytis aspects compliment rather than conflicting with one another; and this wine’s superbly long and exhilarating finish even harbors a telltale Mosel hint of wet stone.
