WINE DESCRIPTION
Dr. Loosen Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Alte Reben GG is a premium wine produced by Dr. Loosen, a renowned winery in Germany. The wine is made from Riesling grapes grown in the Graacher Himmelreich vineyard, which is known for its steep slopes and slate soils that impart unique mineral flavors to the wine. The grapes are harvested from old vines, which add complexity and depth to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit flavors and aromas. The resulting wine is a dry, full-bodied Riesling with a rich texture, vibrant acidity, and notes of citrus, stone fruit, and minerality.
