WINE DESCRIPTION
Dr. Loosen Riesling Erdener Treppchen Alte Reben GG is a premium wine produced by the renowned Dr. Loosen winery. The wine comes from the Erdener Treppchen vineyard, which is known for its steep slopes and slate soils that impart a unique minerality to the wine. The grapes used to make this wine are from old vines, which add depth and complexity to the final product. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's natural flavors and aromas. The resulting wine is a dry Riesling with a crisp acidity, vibrant fruit flavors, and a long, mineral finish. This wine is a perfect example of the high-quality Rieslings that Dr. Loosen is known for.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Dr.Loosen Riesling Erdener Treppchen Alte Reben GG offers a nose of white peach, waxy lemon, and a hint of honeycomb. On the palate, the wine delivers a light, yet complex display of ripe citrus flavors and dried apricot, with a subtle hint of clove and white pepper. The finish is long, fresh and perfectly balanced, with a lingering hint of minerality. A truly exquisite example of the classic German Riesling style.
