Wine Description:
The uniqueness of this wine lies primarily in the origin of its grapes, sourced from vineyards around Bechtheim, distinguished by their diverse soil types. Particularly, the Geyersberg single vineyard forms the foundation for a Riesling with pronounced character. To enhance quality, only two grape clusters per vine are left, concentrating the vine's energy. During selective hand harvesting, grapes are gently placed in small containers and softly pressed at Dreissigacker Winery. The gentle approach continues during pressing, with the mash pressed in stages over several hours. The Bechtheim Riesling Ortswein showcases the meticulous care taken in both vineyard and cellar, resulting in a harmonious Riesling with extended lees aging.

  • Bright and vibrant acidity that adds freshness to the wine

Ürziger Würzgarten, a VDP-classified vineyard, is a formidable challenge due to its steep, 80% gradient and rocky red slate soil. Covering about 56 hectares with a south-southeast exposure, it yields exotic and spicy Rieslings, ranging from delicately fruity to lush. Ernst Loosen assumed control of Dr. Loosen, a family winery with 22 hectares in Bernkastel in the Middle Moselle, in 1988. His winemaking philosophy emphasizes that great wines express soil, climate, and grape variety. With the unique microclimate and old, ungrafted Riesling vines in VDP.Großen Lagen vineyards, such as Bernkasteler Lay, Erdener Prälat, Erdener Treppchen, Graacher Himmelreich, Graacher Domprobst, Ürziger Würzgarten, and Wehlener Sonnenuhr, the winery is well-equipped to fulfill this philosophy. Today, Riesling dominates 98% of its vineyard area, with the remaining 2% dedicated to Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc). Since 1996, Ernst Loosen has also owned Villa Wolf winery in Wachenheim in the Palatinate region.
